COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of seismic and wind design and reinforced concrete in accordance with the latest version of American & British codes. It covers the wind forces, structural interaction and latest version of international codes and standard; the design for wind forces, code requirements and four different design techniques in accordance with the IBC, ASCE and British codes; the wind forces on structures; the design components and cladding in structures subjected to wind forces; the inputs and parameters for calculation of wind forces; and the design of structures for hurricane, tornadoes and special structures subjected to wind forces including free-standing board and tanks.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the effects of wind induced vibration on tall structures; the damping systems for tall structures; the seismic loading, horizontal distribution of seismic forces; the analysis and design of liquid retaining structures under seismic loading; the different structural systems and foundation types for withstanding the seismic effects; the risk and seismic effects in the buildings; the seismic load generation using STAAD or ETABS; the seismic and wind design and loading combinations as well as the detailing requirements of American and British codes; and the different structures and their behavior pertaining to seismic load as well as for the failure of some structure during seismic tremors.
