iHub delightedly announcing the launching of Structural Modeling and Design usg CSI Software workshop introduced by Eng. Hassan Bedeir

This Workshop Aims to 
  • ​Introduce the principles of structural modeling using FE software   
  • Enable the understanding of proper modeling basics.
  • Expose the students to different techniques of 2D and 3D modeling of Reinforced Concrete and Steel structures.
  • Present possible sources of modeling errors and methods to avoid them.
  • Introduce the methods of seismic analysis.
  • Explain methods of design using CSI software.
  • Allow the students to model and design a full RC structure.
