Overview
Syllabus
- Modelling, Analysis and Design for RC Wall System
- This module introduces participants to the fundamentals of modeling, analyzing, and designing RC wall structures using ETABS software. It includes detailed steps from initial modeling approaches to loading considerations and final structural analysis. Key topics cover foundation design methodologies, including strip footing calculations and safe design practices for efficient construction.
- Design of Structural Elements for RC Wall System
- This module delves into the detailed design aspects of structural elements associated with RC wall systems. It covers the design methodologies for RC walls, spandrels, rectangular beams, slabs, and staircases. Emphasis is placed on practical design considerations for lifting, stripping, stacking, and transportation of precast elements.
- Joints Connections for RC Wall System
- This module focuses on the critical aspect of joint connections in RC wall systems. It covers various types of connections such as wall-to-foundation, wall-to-wall (horizontal and vertical), beam-to-wall, slab-to-wall, and staircase connections. Special attention is given to progressive collapse considerations and diaphragm actions in connection design.
- Modelling, Analysis and Design for Frame System
- This module introduces participants to the modeling, analysis, and design methodologies for frame systems using ETABS software. It includes loading considerations, foundation analysis, column design methodologies, and detailed design calculations for precast beams. Practical applications focus on ensuring structural integrity and performance under various loading conditions.
- An Introduction to Prestressed Concrete and Various Types of Precast Slab Systems
- This module provides an introduction to prestressed concrete principles and focuses on various types of precast slab systems. It covers initial and final stage loss calculations, flexural and shear stress examinations, bearing capacity analysis, and ultimate limit state design considerations for hollow core slabs and filigree slabs.
