• About Course:

In this course you will learn about Space Frame. Course includes some Theoretical Concepts of Space Frame, Modelling – Analysis – Designing of Space Frame with one practical case-study in computer software ETABS as per codal provisions of American Standards in which you will learn modelling of space frame with section database of AISC 14, how to apply loads on the structure as per ASCE 7-02 and Define Load Combinations, Analysis of Space Frame Structure in computer software ETABS, and most importantly you will go through the design procedure as per AISC 360-16 code for Space Frame.

• Brief Description

This course has been prepared to assume that the learners are completely new to the software and having some basic knowledge in Civil Engineering and Structural-Design field. The main purpose of this course to make learners familiar understanding of Space Frame Structure and with Methodology used in Analysis and Design of Space Frame Structures with respect to American Standards AISC 14, ASCE 7-02 and AISC 360-16 by using Computer Software ETABS so, that learners get crystal clear concepts for Designing Space Frame Structure.

• Rationale:

To make Learners familiar with Space Frames and also the Methodology used in Analysis and Design of Space Frames with respect to American Standards, that is imperative for effective Understanding in Designing of Space Frames.
