Description

• English Description
  
  Building engineering design process: methodology, identification of objectives, Building codes, formulation of design problems. Preliminary building design: synthesis and design of structures using computer-aided design tools. Performance evaluation using modelling, sensitivity analysis and cost estimation. Introduction - Overview of F.E.M for Beam Element -Plates and Shells-Modelling of 2-D structures (Beams-Frames - Trusses). Modelling of solid slabs-One-way, Two-way Hollow Blocks. Modelling of surfaces of revolution. Modelling of 3-D Frames (Steel and concrete). Modelling of foundations on elastic supports (isolated footing-combined footing-raft foundation-piles foundations). Lateral load analysis of 3-D Frames using equivalent static load method and response spectrum method. Retaining walls and Water Circular - Rectangular tanks (Elevated tanks – Rested on Ground – Under Ground tanks). Interface between F.E. programs and Auto-Cad program. Interface between F.E. programs and P.C.A. Columns. Sensitivity of structures to boundary conditions variation. A design project is an integral part of this course.
