After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• Recognize different types of foundation systems used to support industrial buildings and low-rise buildings
• Understand the finite element modelling of different foundation systems

Description:
This webinar introduces the behaviour of different foundation systems used for industrial and low-rise buildings. This webinar also discusses the different methods to develop finite element models that simulate the behaviour of different foundation systems of industrial buildings.

Sophisticated three-dimensional modelling, which truly simulates different types of buildings, requires engineers to understand the complex behaviour of different lateral load structural systems and structural modelling using basic knowledge of the Finite Element Method.

This webinar series provides an opportunity to learn the principles and techniques of structural modelling of different types of structures under lateral loads such as wind and seismic. The concepts and theories are explained thoroughly with conceptual examples, with no full numerical example due to time restraints.

Course Outline :
