Foundation design software like ETABS and SAFE are base pillars for civil engineers. Students will learn to build software models of the structure, analyze the results, and use the output to prepare final construction drawings.
9/10 of our learners achieve their learning objectives after successful course completion*
This course provides an overview of Seismic Design Concepts Dynamic Analysis of Building Structures & Estimation of Earthquake Forces Conceptual Design of Buildings for Earthquake Resistance with Reference to IS 1893 Detailed Design of RCC Member Elements with Reference to IS 13920
Foundation design software like ETABS and SAFE will be taught and students will learn to build software models of the structure, analyze the results, and use the output to prepare final construction drawings. After the successful completion of this course, students will be able to design, assess new and existing building structures, especially in earthquake-prone zones.
