Description
Major Highlights of The CourseAll lesson files included for downloadSelf-assessment Practice files at the end of every sectionTaught by Industry working professionalExtra practice files and projects at the end of the courseYou will be able to get 50% tool-based learning & 50%  Real-time Experience-based learningWhat is this course all about?MIDAS Civil is a Bridge Design & Analysis software that combines powerful pre-and post-processing features with an extremely fast solver, which makes bridge modeling and analysis simple, quick, and effective.This course is designed and delivered by industry experts who did post-graduation in structures and have industry experience. You can kickstart your Bridge design and analysis Journey, wherein we take you Step by Step with Real-Life Projects and get you up & running to design your favorite design, model, and analysis efficiently, quickly, and in the right way.This course starts with the basics of structural dynamics, Dynamic equation of motion, Terminology, loads, and combinations such as Dead load, Live load, Impact, Wind load, Temperature, Seismic Forces, and Manual calculation of action forces (Especially Live load), etc.Introduction to MIDAS modeling, Generation of Nodes & Elements, Assigning properties of Material and Cross-section, Application of Loads & Boundary conditions, Analysis & Extraction of Reaction forces, etc.Various codes and applications discussed in this course for bridge design such as Live loads- VehiclesIRC 6-2017,IRC Class 70R Loading IRC Class A LoadingIRC Class AA LoadingIRC Class B LoadingIRC Class SV LoadingFor the benefit of learners Design Criteria, Processes, Methodology, And Well Foundation In Bridges & Stability are also discussed.This course is a perfect hand-holding companion which guides you through various tools within MIDAS coupled with your creative knowledge you can perform connection designs, boiled welded, and base plates. Care is taken to start on a very basic level, and progress with complicated techniques.You will learn not only theoretical, and technical knowledge but also how every tool works but also how to apply it in the right way in your Bridge designs and analysis using the MIDAS workflow. Exercise files are provided over every lecture & section so you can follow along step by step included in this course.Real-life work examples (Cable bridge design and analysis) were included in this course so, you will be able to directly work also in any company/industry. To check the understanding level quizzes were provided at the end of every section. No matter whether you are a Beginner, Intermediate, or in an Advance level candidate this course teaches you everything and clears your doubts.Project-oriented courseThe course lessons are mostly project-oriented and most of the tools and commands are taught with their real-world applications. Each module ends with a practical question that is related to the course and students are encouraged to answer the questions before moving further.Quizzes and Drawings for practiceTo check the understanding level quizzes were provided at the end of every section. And also drawings were provided for practice purposes.Course InstructorMr. Vikram SinghSr Bridge Design Engineer.MTech (Structural Eng.), IIT Kanpur | AIR 743 GATE 2018 | Qualified ESE Prelims 2019Instructor support for questionsWe understand that students will have questions related to the course and it's necessary also for a healthy learning process hence we encourage students to ask their questions related to the course in the Q&A section of the course. We answer each and every question as soon as possible and so far we have answered every single course-related question from students in the Udemy Q&A section.If you are still thinking about whether you should enroll or not then we encourage you to watch some of the preview videos and test the waters before you actually enroll in the course.
