Course overview

Gone are the days when we do structural designs manually, when we calculate shear force, bending moment, tension, etc. and even draw structural diagrams by hand.

These days, clients want fast drawings that will get approved by the appropriate government authority.

The advent of software’s has made things quite easy, and with them, one can analyze, design and detail the structural details of any building or non-building structure.

And guess what, you don’t have to worry about accuracy and safety, because these software’s have been programmed to use the same analysis methodologies that we apply in manual designs.

What this means is that; the way we calculate bending moment, shear force, etc. manually is the same way the software calculates those forces (if all the appropriate conditions have been set in the software – which I’m going to show you in this course).

Now, the amazing thing is, you don’t need to have the knowledge of manual designs before you can use software's – it’s just like using a car with manual gear or an automatic gear.

In this course, I’m going to take you step-by-step from the basics of structural engineering and principles up to designing simple residences on pad foundations to designing complex high-risers on pile and raft foundations subjected to wind load.

We are also going to talk about non-building structures as well.

It’s going to be a long journey of learning, unlearning, and re-learning. We are going to move together

Once, you purchase this course, you will automatically have access to the step-by-step video tutorials, ProtaStructure software, and practice exercise files.

So first, you would need to watch the video lessons and practice along-side.

    I love this. The detailing template is the best part of this course.
  • Christian Nnamdi
    Your explanation on load consideration for roof was ideal. I normally use another method before, but I know better now
