CSI ETABS - Structural Design - MEGA course - AulaGEO

Structural Masonry with ETABS 17.0.1

The course consists of the advanced theoretical and practical development of Structural Masonry Walls.  Everything related to the regulations will be explained in detail: Regulation for Design and Construction of Buildings in Structural Masonry R-027.

#AulaGEO

The example prescribed by the aforementioned regulations will be developed, with the intention that the participant deeply understands the philosophy of the R-027 standard, all of the latter through an Excel table that will be provided to the participant.

In addition, the phenomenon of (Short column effect) will be explained where we will see that this phenomenon is applied in Masonry Walls and has to be handled with great caution in projects.

Two steel area allocation methods will be explained in the most advanced software on the market in ETABS 17.0.1 Structural Calculation, where the results of the software will be verified manually.

The solution to the torsion of beams that connect Structural Masonry Walls will be presented

With all these concepts in mind the participants will be able to start a project with the Structural Masonry Methodology
