Description

The only course you’ll need to Master Building Code based Building Design using ETABS.Understanding and using building code provisions in Analysis and Design is crucial for getting your project approved for construction.Just learning ETABS or any other structural analysis and design software won’t approve your design without proper application of the building code provisions and structural understanding. Thus in this course, you will not only learn the ETABS software but you will also learn about and application of building code in the analysis and design of buildings.From this course, you will learn about:ETABSDifferent phases in structural analysis and designAnalysis type and methodPrinciples of designDesign methods of RC structuresStrength reduction factor and load factorDocuments required for structural design and drawing of building structuresBuilding information to decide onInformation for software modelGravity loadsLateral loads (wind, earthquake)Checks to do after analysisHow to check with notion and hand calculationHow material properties are used and documentedStructural framing systems and load combinationsMesh considerationsWhat are diaphragms and what is their purpose in a structural systemEffective stiffness or property modifiersTorsional constant and indeterminacyDecision regarding support conditionsAfter completing this course you will be able to:Read and understand building code provisionsAssign gravity loads properly and according to the building codeNavigate through the ETABS software for basic modeling and assigning loadsETABS for analysisETABS for designWind load calculation according to building codeAssign wind load in ETABSEarthquake load calculation according to building codeAssigning earthquake load in ETABSDetect irregularities according to the building codeDo serviceability criteria checks according to the codeDo additional checksAnalysis checks based on ETABS outputUse property modifiers for carrying out limit state designDesign building components such as Beams, Columns, and SlabsSeismic detailing according to codeSection based learning:Section-1:An overview and understanding in a broader sense of all the things we will be learning.Section-2:you will learn about gravity load considerations for a building, you will learn things like common gravity load considerations for a building, and how to calculate- fixed partition wall load, random wall load, elevator load, gardening load, and water tank load according to building code.Section-3:we will start our ETABS model and apply all the knowledge you have acquired in the first two sections into our ETABS model, you will learn how to model a building in ETABS.

Some of the irregularities you will learn about are re-entrant corner, torsional, non-parallel system, diaphragm discontinuity, out-of-plane offsets, stiffness, soft story, weak story, mass irregularity, geometric irregularities, and so on. You will also learn how to check for these irregularities using your ETABS model and hand calculations.Section-10:you will learn about the serviceability criterion, what is it, why to check for it, why to maintain it, and how to use your ETABS model to check for these serviceability criteria according to building code. Some of the serviceability criteria you will be learning are vertical deflection limits, allowable displacements, story drift, maximum displacement due to earthquake, maximum drift due to earthquake, and so on.Section-11:Other than serviceability criteria and irregularities other are other checks known as the additional checks that can be required from time to time and you will learn about those in the eleventh section. Some of the additional checks include accidental torsional moment, P-delta effect, separation between adjacent structures, uplift, and so on.Section-12:you will learn how to assign property modifiers to structural components in ETABS for generating limit state designs.Section-13:you will see some design procedures for RCC building components namely- columns, beams, and slabs.Section-14:you will learn about seismic detailing according to code how to check if the detailing criteria are according to building code guidelines and an introduction to building code criteria to special and intermediate seismic detailing along with sample calculations to better understand the building code criteria.Prerequisites:· Minimum basic knowledge of structural analysis and design· Have ETABS (version 13 or higher) installed on your laptop or PC.But if you just want to learn how structural analysis and design is done according to code without the intent to practice then there are no prerequisites for you as everything has been explained in the course.
