Video description
This course is designed to train students and early-career engineers in the complete structural engineering workflow used in professional practice. The focus is on how structural engineers think, model, analyze, and interpret results, not just how to use software tools.
The course follows a real building design sequence, starting from the interpretation of architectural drawings and preparation of center lines, progressing through ETABS modeling, load application, analysis, and design, and continuing into foundation modeling using SAFE. The final section focuses on extracting design results and preparing clear inputs for structural drawings and detailing support.
Students will learn how to create reliable ETABS models by defining materials, sections, grids, and stories correctly. Load calculation and application are explained step by step, including dead loads, live loads, wall loads, and load combinations. Structural analysis results such as forces, deflections, and design ratios are reviewed with proper engineering judgment, helping students understand what the software is actually reporting.
Foundation design using SAFE is covered in detail, including load transfer from ETABS, soil modeling, raft foundation analysis, punching shear checks, and interpretation of reinforcement results. Special emphasis is placed on understanding load paths from superstructure to soil.
The course concludes with design data extraction and coordination with detailing workflows. Students learn how to organize beam, column, and shear wall results in Excel and prepare structured inputs to support AutoCAD drawings.
By the end of this course, students will not only be able to use ETABS and SAFE, but will also understand how structural decisions are made in real engineering offices.
Who this course is for
Civil engineering students, fresh graduates, site engineers, and structural engineers who want practical G+12 building design experience.
