ETABS Professional Course with 20 Story Building design

Description

In this course you will learn ETABS software, a worldwide structural design software, starting from the basic modelling techniques in ETABS to exploring many available advanced options, techniques, tools and guides for reinforced concrete structural design with hands on parallel exercise on a 20-storey building for clearer concepts and understanding like no other.

The course is prepared with extreme care considering the best sequence of steps and topics for easy and proper learning . Although the course is focused on ETABS, but the structural design concepts and steps are using ACI design code and ASCE loading code for references of parameters. The course focuses on the design practice and knowledge utilized on professional level worldwide . Here is a brief syllabus for the course

ETABS user Interface, viewing options, definitions of keywords, shortcuts, tools and tips

Difference between shell thin, thick and membrane, Rigid and Semi-rigid diaphragms, Import grids from Autocad/Revit, Concept of envelope (Exercise on moment, shear and axial force envelope)

Defining rectangular, cylindrical grids, material properties, Frame sections, Define Slab and wall sections

Modelling framing in ETABS (Draw beams, columns, slabs, walls and replicate on stories, using viewing tools, hide/unhide elements with exercise file, Automatic and manual meshing of slab and wall, Model reviewing, Creating selection groups, Merge multiple ETABS models)

Applying Loading (Defining and assigning load patterns, load cases, load combinations, seismic loads (ASCE 7-10), mass source, Diaphragm, wind loads (ASCE 7-10), P-Delta options )

General Analysis and Design (Assign and draw slab strips (DDM), assign pier to walls, set code preferences, Analysis results (Forces, Deformation and stresses), Modal Analysis )

Analysis and Design Results interpretation

Analysis and design of reinforced concrete columns

Analysis and design of reinforced concrete beams

Analysis and design of reinforced concrete shear walls modelling and design

Analysis and design of Flat plate slab, Flat slab with drop panels and Two-way slab on beams

Analysis results and interpretation for forces, modelling errors and their solutions and displacements

Serviceability and Irregularities (Seismic drift check, Wind drift check, Torsional irregularity check & Amplification, Stiffness irregularity check, Mass/Weight irregularity check and limits, orthogonal directional combinations)

Linear Dynamic Analysis (What is LDP, concepts of dynamic analysis)

Response Spectrum (Response spectrum analysis procedure, scaling of dynamic base shear and analysis results)

Linear Time History analysis (Procedure, Importing seismograms to Etabs, Time history matching to site Response Spectrum, scaling of dynamic base shear, analysis results and why & when to use dynamic analysis)

New prominent features coming in new Etabs versions will also be included in the course. The already included are as follows:

Non-Linear Cracked Deflection (Etabs 2019)
