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 courseETABS user Interface, viewing options, definitions of keywords, shortcuts, tools and tipsDifference 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 sectionsModelling 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 interpretationAnalysis and design of reinforced concrete columnsAnalysis and design of reinforced concrete beamsAnalysis and design of reinforced concrete shear walls modelling and designAnalysis and design of Flat plate slab, Flat slab with drop panels and Two-way slab on beamsAnalysis results and interpretation for forces, modelling errors and their solutions and displacementsServiceability 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)
