COURSE CONTENTS

Introduction

  • Introduction to earthquake engineering (basic concepts only from design point of view)
  • Base shear numerical

Super Structure Analysis And Design Using ETABS

  • Background: Concepts of architectural drawings; coordinate / grid system; structural layout of beams, columns and shear walls (if any); earthquake- resistant design
  • ETABS introduction; grids layout; material properties; member sizes, modifiers and other details
  • Geometry layout (beams, columns, shear walls, slabs); replication (linear, mirror, story); supports
  • Basic load cases (Dead, superimposed dead, live, roof live, soil (if any) and earthquake); mass-source
  • Factored load combinations (considering eccentricities in all directions and using all code clauses)
  • Applying basic loads (point, uniformly distributed, varying lateral and area loads)
  • Checking model errors; analysis options; model analysis
  • Evaluation of analysis; performing concrete design
  • Extracting column design
  • Extracting beam design
  • Extracting shear wall design
  • Extracting slab design

Sub Structure Analysis And Design Using SAFE

  • Concepts of allowable bearing capacity (net, gross and effective); examples
  • Exporting ETABS file for SAFE foundation model; Importing ETABS data/analysis; material and soil properties; foundation type and thickness; applying additional loads (if required)
  • Preliminary foundation layout
  • Factored load combinations (considering eccentricities in all directions and using all code clauses)
  • Evaluation of analysis and design; checking bearing pressures and satisfying foundation sizes
  • Extracting foundation design
