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 course
