Introduction To Design Of Buildings In ETABS

ETABS is a premier software in design of structures ranging from different types of buildings to bridges and pipelines. This software has been widely used as one of the most efficient and powerful tools in the design offices in the world.

This course covers the basic to intermediate knowledge an engineer needs to design and detail a typical structure. Geometrical and material models will be discussed, in addition to applying gravity, wind and seismic loads.

Also different types of structural steel and concrete design and outputs of the software will be covered by this course.

Expected Learning Outcomes

At the end of this webinar, the audience will have an overall idea of how to use ETABS software to analyze and design typical steel and concrete building structures.

Target Audience

Structural engineers, civil engineers, public works and construction department employees of federal, provincial and municipal governments and engineers responsible for large industrial, commercial or institutional facilities who must deal with different types of foundations.

The course will be of interest to a wide range of practicing civil engineers at different stages in their careers. Some familiarization with soil mechanics is desirable but the knowledge is not required at a specialist level.

Course Materials

Each participant will receive a complete set of course notes and handouts that will serve as informative references.
