🚀 Course Content Breakdown 🚀

1. Moderate/Expert Users Track

This track is designed for users with prior experience in structural analysis and design. It covers three types of analyses:

• Linear Static Analysis: Understand the fundamentals and applications in various scenarios.
• Non-Linear Static Analysis (Pushover Analysis): Master the art of simulating real-world conditions by pushing structures to their limit.
• Linear Dynamic Analysis (Response Spectrum Analysis): Learn to predict structural responses under dynamic loads like wind or seismic activities.

🏙️ Key Projects Include:

• A detailed analysis of a 23-story high-rise structure, focusing on architectural drawings and structural element planning.
• Designing Shear Walls and exporting reactions to SAFE for Raft Foundation design.

2. Intermediate/Novice Users Track (ETABS Basics)

Before diving into the complex projects, this track offers a solid foundation in ETABS basics:

• Drawing Grids and Defining Stories: Learn how to set up your model for accurate analysis.
• Materials and Section Properties: Understand the materials and sections used in structural modeling.
• Structural Objects and Loads: Gain hands-on experience in drawing objects and applying loads correctly.
• Load Combinations and Theoretical Explanations: Learn to select appropriate load combinations for your analysis.

Essential Topics Covered:

• Flexible vs. Rigid Diaphragms and their assignment to RCC Slabs.
• P-Delta Analysis for understanding structural dynamics.
• Scaling of Response Spectrum values for earthquake analysis.
• Reading ETABS Editor Files for in-depth analysis and design.

Why This Course?

• Practical Understanding: Gain insights not easily found online, which makes this course more valuable than others.
• Deep Dive into Structural Analysis: Engage with complex case studies that will challenge and enhance your skills.
• Interactive Learning Environment: This course encourages healthy discussions and active participation to resolve queries.
