  • 3: Modeling of Structural Elements (Columns, Beams, Slabs, Shear Walls), Stair Modeling, Openings, and Assigning Diaphragm Constraints.
  • 4: Load Definitions (Dead, Live, Superimposed Dead Load) & Introduction to Load Patterns and Load Assignments.
  • 5: Wind Load Calculation and Application (IS 875 Part 3), Seismic Load Generation (IS 1893 / NBC 105), and Load Combinations as per Code.

2: Analysis and Result Interpretation

  • 6: Running Analysis & Understanding Analysis Messages, Errors, and Warnings.
  • 7: Review of Displacements, Reactions, and Base Shear & Story Drift and Torsion Irregularity Checks.

  • 12: Slab Design Basics (One-way & Two-way) using ETABS with Manual Verification, and Shear Wall Design Overview.
  • 13: Foundation Design Concepts (Isolated, Combined, Raft) & Exporting Reactions to SAFE for Foundation Modeling and Design.
  • 14: Documentation and Drawing Preparation.
  • 15: Final Q&A Session, Report Generation, Best Practices, Project Submission, and Certification.

Important Notes

  • Hands-on practice using ETABS (and SAFE) for modeling, analysis, and design.
  • Emphasis on manual verification of design results using Excel spreadsheets.
  • Course material including code extracts, solved examples, and software files will be shared.
  • Assessment and feedback will be conducted at the end of the training.
  • The trainer may make minor adjustments to the schedule based on participant needs.

ETABS Training for Steel Structure Analysis and Connection Design
