Design the High Rise Buildings ( Level 2 )

🏙️ Master High-Rise Design with Structural Engineering Software: Level 2 🚀 TDM (That's a Lot of Details!) in Designing Skyscrapers 📐✨

Course Headline: 🎓 Design the High Rise Buildings (Level 2) - Mastering Structural Engineering Software (ETABS & SAFE) from the Perspective of a Skyscraper's Design Engineer.

Course Description:

Welcome to the advanced level of our high-rise design course, where we delve deeper into the world of structural engineering with a focus on using ETABS and SAFE software. In this comprehensive course, you will refine your skills by reviewing and checking a myriad of factors that are critical in structural design. Here's what you can expect to master:

Part 1 (ETABS Model):

• Model Review: Begin by ensuring your model accurately represents the building structure.

• Load Combinations: Understand and verify the combinations of loads as per design criteria.

• Seismic Forces: Check static and dynamic seismic forces in accordance with the Uniform Building Code (UBC97).

• P-Delta Analysis: Perform a stability analysis to evaluate the effects of gravity and inertia forces.

• Mass Source Check: Determine the influence of mass sources on your structure's behavior.

• Time Period Evaluation: Calculate the natural period of vibration of the building.

• Mode Shapes Analysis: Analyze the mode shapes to understand the building's vibration patterns.

• Wind Tunnel Analysis: Assess wind loads and their impact on your design.

• Base Shear Verification: Ensure the base shear calculations align with UBC97 requirements.

• Displacement Under Wind: Check for allowable displacement as per ASCE7-16 guidelines.

• Overturning Moment Analysis: Verify that your structure can withstand overturning moments due to seismic forces.

• Seismic Drift Check: Ensure the seismic drift is within acceptable limits as per UBC97.

• Member Design: Use ACI318M-14 code to design all structural members for safety and efficiency.

Part 2 (SAFE Model):

• Materials and Slabs: Check the materials, slab thickness, rebars, and loads for compliance with ACI318M-14.

• Load Combinations Analysis: Verify load combinations as per ACI318M-14.

• Strip Drawing for Design: Learn to create strips for a precise member design.

• Automatic Mesh Inspection: Review the automatic mesh generated by SAFE for accuracy.

• Stiff Area Considerations: Account for stiff areas within the structure.

• Deflection Verification: Ensure deflections meet ACI318M-14 standards.

• Slab Design: Design slabs according to ACI318M-14 specifications.

• Punching Shear Analysis: Assess the punching shear at critical locations in the structure.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of how to use ETABS and SAFE for high-rise building design, ensuring compliance with critical design codes such as UBC97 and ACI318M-14. You'll be equipped with the knowledge and skills to confidently start designing your own tower or skyscraper, ready to face the challenges of structural engineering with precision and expertise.
