ETABS
This course teaches ETABS, the program from CSI for structural analysis and design of concrete buildings. You begin with the introduction, the interface and the menus, then the basics of ETABS. Next you learn how to define materials, beams, columns, slabs and walls, enter loads, and apply seismic loads and wind loads. Then you move on to meshing slabs and solving the structure, displaying analysis results and tables, checking lateral drift and running the model check, followed by design and report generation. The course also covers importing a CAD file into the program using Import DXF, with downloadable files that include a wind load file, ETABS models and a CAD project. It suits civil engineering students and graduates and structural engineers, and no previous experience with the program is needed. By the end, you will be able to build a building model, define its elements and loads, run the analysis, read and verify the results, and produce the design report.
