Program Overview

This program is crafted to help aspiring civil and structural engineers gain a deep understanding of the schematic design process and structural analysis of reinforced concrete buildings. Using industry-standard software tool—ETABS—participants will explore the complete workflow from conceptual design to detailed analysis and element design. The program also covers load calculation, lateral stability systems, rebar detailing as per IS codes, and prepares learners to confidently work on real-world multistorey building projects.

Program Objectives

RCC Design Basics

Understand the design basis, including functional requirements, durability aspects, and material selection for multistorey RCC buildings.
