What you'll learn
E-TABS (ETABS) is a professional structural analysis and design course designed for civil engineering students, structural engineers, diploma holders and construction professionals who want to develop practical skills in building analysis and design.
The course covers the complete ETABS workflow, including structural model creation, grids and stories, material and section properties, beams, columns, slabs, shear walls, load patterns, load cases, load combinations, structural analysis, seismic analysis, wind load analysis, modal analysis and structural design.
Learners will also understand how to interpret analysis results such as story displacement, story drift, member forces, reactions and design results and prepare professional structural reports.
The course includes practical building projects ranging from residential structures to multi-storey RCC buildings, providing hands-on experience with real-world structural modeling and analysis workflows.
