This course is same STRUCTURAL DESIGN (BUILDING SUPERSTRUCTURE) USING ETABS (ONLINE & DIRECT) + additional practice sessions for extra projects
INTRODUCTION Scope & Role of a Structural Engineer Introduction to ETABS Strengths of ETABS How ETABS enables to perform the role. Introduction to Tool Bars,Menus,Model explorer, Help menu Tips to Scheme a building.
MODELLING PROCESS & WORK FLOW Geometry creation : Property Definition,Member definition Using Templates to import properties and members. Import/Export dxf & STAAD Columns,walls,Beams,slabs creation Editing Options Creating openings in slabs & Walls. Supports : Pinned/Fixed and creating soil structure interaction. Member Releases. Diaphragm creation.
LOADING ,ANALYSIS & RESULT INTERPRETATION Loading : Dead load, Live load computations Wind load ,Seismic loading Load combinations : Factored & Unfactored Load combination Force Envelopes creation Analysis of the Building.(Static Analysis & DYNAMIC ANALYSIS (RESPONSE SPECTRUM)) Checking Deflections,Lateral Stability,Story drifts checks
DESIGN & DETAILING Design of Columns Design of Shear walls Design of beam and slabs Detailing of Slabs Detailing of beams Detailing of columns Detailing of walls.
Gravity load computations & load path: You will learn the differences between loads on slabs,beams and how to compute these elaborately.
Developing a structural layout/scheme: You will learn thumb rules to size and position all members and co-ordination requirement between other disciplines like architecture and services.
Better shape of buildings: Irregular shape vs regular shape How does it matter for seismic resistance. Helps in identifying better form and shape for better seismic performance there by reducing structural cost.
Manual Design of beams, slabs and columns : You will learn design of members and also learn advanced information on torsion in beams,sway in columns and significance of sway factor.Difference between braced and unbraced columns
