ETABS Course Overview
ETABS is a software for building analysis and design, specifically focused on multi-story structures. It provides integrated tools for modeling, analysis, and design, widely used by structural engineers.
ETABS Course Outline
1. ETABS Essentials
- Introduction to ETABS: Overview of interface, model setup, and structural grid creation.
- Modeling Structural Elements: Working with beams, columns, slabs, and shear walls.
- Load Assignments: Applying loads such as dead, live, wind, and seismic loads.
- Analysis Techniques: Linear and nonlinear analysis for various structural configurations.
- Design Features: Design based on international building codes, for both concrete and steel structures.
- Seismic and Wind Analysis: Specialized tools for earthquake and wind load design.
Assessment and Certification (50 Marks)
- Assessment Task (20 Marks):
- Model and analyze a multi-story building under seismic load conditions.
- Objective Test (30 Marks):
- Multiple-choice questions on ETABS functionalities and structural analysis principles.
Upon passing, students receive a Certificate of Completion, verifying their expertise in building analysis and design using ETABS, which is beneficial for careers in civil and structural engineering.
