This course offers a comprehensive overview of the STAAD Pro 2007 software and its capabilities in designing both concrete and steel sections. It provides a detailed demonstration of the necessary steps to perform structural analysis and design for various types of buildings, regardless of the loading conditions. Participants will gain a precise understanding of how to utilize STAAD Pro 2007 effectively for producing accurate and efficient structural designs.

Course Objectives:

This short course is intended to overview the structural analysis and design of both steel structures and reinforced concrete structures by STAAD Pro 2005. The course may be attended by civil engineers involved in design who completed the first and second courses. Each participant may draw on the elements of the course that most complement his area of interest and practice.

For those engineers with limited analysis experience, the course will provide ample illustration of real structures that may assist the designer to understand STAAD Pro and apply it to different types of buildings. The wide range of issues to be discussed, revolve around the use of STAAD Pro in structural Analysis and design of both steel and reinforced concrete structures. The examples to be used would vary from simple to complicated structures from both steel and concrete structures. Throughout the course, the instructor shall start to review the first and second courses to allow ensuring the full participation and comprehension of all attendants, bearing in mind variations in the background from education to practice.

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for engineers who are working in the design field of Steel and concrete structure, engineers will learn fast and better techniques For building and checking complex models due to deferent load types they Will learn how to prepare complete design by using international codes and standards such as AISC for Steel structures and ACI for Concrete sections With detailed output calculation sheet.

Course Outlines:

All topics will be explained by examples produced by the instructor; the attendees will be able to apply the examples during the course period.
