Concrete Building Design with ProtaStructure: Seismic and Wind Analysis

Course Description: Concrete Building Design with ProtaStructure Master the fundamentals of structural modeling and lateral load analysis using ProtaStructure to design resilient reinforced concrete buildings. This course provides a structured introduction to designing multi-story reinforced concrete buildings within a Building Information Modeling (BIM) framework. As global construction standards evolve, the ability to accurately model seismic and wind forces has become a mandatory skill for structural engineers to ensure public safety. You will learn how to transition from initial architectural concepts to a fully realized structural model, ensuring that every element—from foundations to roof slabs—is optimized for both gravity and lateral performance. Understanding how a building reacts to lateral pressure is critical for preventing structural failure and ensuring compliance with international Eurocodes and regional regulations. By the end of this course, you will have the technical confidence to execute complex analysis workflows that are standard in the modern engineering industry, moving beyond manual calculations to high-precision software simulation. Who this is for This course is designed for civil engineering students, junior structural engineers, and professionals seeking to transition from manual design methods to automated BIM software.
