Advanced Seismic Analysis and Design with ETABSv20 per EC8 (Malaysia National Annex)
COURSE OBJECTIVE
The two-day course aims to equip the participants with the necessary technical expertise and software skills for seismic analysis and design of buildings in Malaysia per EC8 (Malaysia National Annex). Participants are assumed to have basic knowledge of structural dynamics and are familiar with basic functions of ETABS software. The emphasis of the course will thus be on detailed implementation of EC8-code permitted methods and use of computer software ETABSv20. Key concepts in correct and effective modelling of buildings will be demonstrated with focus on Lateral Force Method (static) and Response Spectrum Method (linear dynamics). Participants will be guided through hands-on examples for seismic analysis and design of several realistic buildings. While the emphasis is on EC8 for Malaysia, the knowledge and skills learned will also be useful for design of overseas projects with seismic requirements.
