Overview

What you'll
be able to do.

Using composite materials for construction offers many advantages over the conventionally used steel and reinforced cement concrete, especially in the case of multi-storey buildings. Design and analysis of multi-storey buildings can be done using a software tool called ETABS.This course covers the concepts involved in the analysis and design of multi-storey composite structures ranging from basic to advanced levels under different loading conditions using ETABS.

By taking this course, learners will…

  • Gain deeper knowledge on tall building constructions
  • Understand the design procedure and material optimization in tall buildings
  • Get an established understanding of composite structures
  • Understand the fundamentals of building composite design using ETABS software and composite deck floor design using ComFlor software.
  • Complete challenges and projects designed by industry experts, which will require the practical application of the concepts learnt throughout this course.

Who can enroll in this course?

Students and working professionals with a structural or civil engineering background can take this course.
