Structural analysis using Etabs & Safe
About This Course
This course provides a comprehensive practical training designed to empower engineers to master the Structural Design of reinforced concrete buildings in accordance with the American Code (ACI 318). The program focuses on hands-on application using industry-leading software ETABS and SAFE. It covers the entire design workflow, from reviewing fundamental loading and design concepts to advanced modeling, structural analysis, and extracting final reinforcement details. This course is specifically tailored to bridge the gap between academic theory and the professional requirements of the engineering market.
Learning Objectives
Master ACI Standards: Apply $ACI\ 318$ and $ASCE\ 7$ codes confidently in structural design projects.
Advanced Modeling: Build accurate 3D structural models using ETABS.
Structural Elements Design: Design columns, beams, and shear walls, and interpret analysis results professionally.
Slab & Foundation Design: Utilize SAFE software to design various types of slabs and foundations.
Lateral Load Analysis: Define and assign wind loads and Diaphragms to ensure building stability.
Result Verification: Validate software outputs using PROKON and manual check methods.
Deliverable Preparation: Generate and prepare DXF files for final structural engineering drawings
