ETABS

Structural engineering, a part of civil engineering, has emerged as a critical part of the construction process. Its first recorded use dates back to 27th century B.C. when Egyptian Polymath Imhotep designed and constructed the famed step pyramid of Saqqara.

Leonardo Da Vinci created many outstanding designs ahead of his time using structural engineering methods. Its use became central to construction activities in the 19th and 20th centuries when steel was used in large scale to build huge structures, such as Eiffel Tower, WTC, Sears Tower, big apartment blocks, and infrastructure projects.

The innovative and revolutionary new ETabs is the ultimate integrated software package for the structural analysis and design of buildings. Incorporating 40 years of continuous research and development, this latest ETabs offers unmatched 3D object based modelling and visualization tools, blazingly fast linear and nonlinear analytical power, sophisticated and comprehensive design capabilities for a wide-range of materials, and insightful graphic displays, reports, and schematic drawings that allow users to quickly and easily decipher and understand analysis and design results. Architecture and consumer products.

Learning Outcomes:

• Modeling: To work with the physical member based objects and thus require less time in creation of the model and interpretation of the results.
• Concrete frame design & detailing: Applicable to line objects and the program determines the appropriate design procedure when the analysis is run.
• Steel frame design & detailing: To detail the process using various design code algorithms for steel member selection, stress checking and drift optimization.
• Steel connection design: Design of steel connections is seamlessly integrated within the program.
• Composite beam: Auto select-section property can be defined to composite beams to determine their sizes for analysis.
• Dynamic analysis: Various methods from response spectrum analysis to large deformation nonlinear time analysis.
