Structural Analysis and Design (STAAD Pro, ETABS) Course

What Will You Learn?

• By the end of the Structural Analysis and Design (STAAD Pro, ETABS) course, students will be able to:
• 1. Understand Structural Analysis Principles: Gain knowledge of the fundamental principles of structural analysis, including static and dynamic loads, stress-strain relationships, and structural behavior.
• 2. Master STAAD Pro and ETABS Software: Develop proficiency in using STAAD Pro and ETABS for modeling, analyzing, and designing structures.
• 3. Perform Structural Load Calculations: Learn how to calculate and apply various types of loads on structures, including dead loads, live loads, wind loads, seismic loads, and other environmental factors.
• 4. Analyze Structural Models: Use STAAD Pro and ETABS to perform both linear and non-linear static and dynamic analyses of structures, accounting for different forces and conditions.
• 5. Design Structural Elements: Understand how to design structural elements such as beams, columns, slabs, foundations, and frames according to national and international design codes and standards.
• 6. Evaluate Structural Safety and Performance: Use the software to evaluate the safety and performance of structures under different loading conditions and design scenarios.
• 7. Optimize Structural Design: Learn how to optimize the design process for both cost-effectiveness and performance, ensuring the structure meets safety standards without excessive material use.
• 8. Understand Codes and Standards: Study the relevant building codes and standards (e.g., AISC, Eurocodes, IS Codes) for structural design and ensure designs comply with them.
• 9. Use ETABS for Building Design: Use ETABS specifically for the analysis and design of multi-story buildings and complex structures, including their foundation systems.
• 10. Conduct Advanced Analysis: Understand the importance of advanced analysis techniques, such as dynamic analysis for earthquake-resistant design and wind analysis for high-rise buildings.
