TRAINING.

Overview

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

• Recognize different types of structural systems used to provide lateral resistance for concrete buildings
• Identify suitable lateral load structural system for each building
• Understand the behaviour of different lateral load structural systems
• Understand the finite element modelling of various structural components

Description
This webinar introduces the behaviour of different lateral load structural resisting systems under lateral loads. This webinar also discusses the different methods to develop finite element models that accurately simulate the behaviour of additional lateral load structural systems.

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 concrete 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.
