Course Information
Description
This course covers the basics of CSI ETABS with an insight on the use of conceptual design tool. The main emphasis in this course is laid on
structural modeling and analyses. The students will be introduced to the modeling techniques, structural loads, supports, properties, and concepts of analyses as all these are related to the structural stability.
