COMPUTER-AIDED STRUCTURAL DESIGN

STAAD-PRO V8i
DURATION: 24 hrs

FEE: P 4,800 cash / P 4,900 installment

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND COVERAGE:

Designed to train you to speed up your analysis and design of building structure by the
use of computer. It eliminates repetitive calculations and computational errors, and provides
fast and accurate analysis and design calculations. Design approach is based on ACI Code, AISC,
NSCP and other existing codes.
The course covers both manual and computer-aided applications of structural analysis
and design.
