This course aims to understand the concepts of load analysis and how elements fail due to loading resisting element. According to the ACI code and other codes, design and draw all the structural elements; (Beams, Slabs, Columns, Foundations, and Walls).
· Introduction of the structural system.
· Introduction to the program and what it can be designed.
· Explain and clarify architectural plans and the difference between them and structural plans.
· Specification of columns distribution in architectural plans.
· How to select slab system according to project function.
· Study the behavior of slabs and beam distributions
· Loads calculations for different types of slabs.
· Design and analysis of one-way ribbed slab.
· Design and analysis of two-way ribbed slab.
· Design and analysis of solid slab.
· How to find loads of beams.
· Select adequate dimensions of the beam according to slab type and ACI code.
· Beams design and analysis (hidden and drop).
· How to find loads of columns and design different types of columns.
· How to find loads of footing and design single and combined footing.
· Retaining walls design and analysis.
· Export any results to pdf or word, or other related programs.
