Structural Design for Engineers

The document outlines the curriculum for structural design of mid-rise buildings. It covers topics like understanding architectural drawings, soil reports, modeling in ETABS, defining section properties, applying loads, analyzing results, designing structural elements like slabs, beams and columns, and documenting the design. The curriculum aims to provide a complete understanding of earthquake concepts, hands-on experience in earthquake-resistant design of buildings using ETABS, and exposure to design codes like IS 1893 2016.
