Master Structural Engineering Course Using ACI & Dubai Codes

The industry-leading structural engineering training program that bridges the gap between theory and real-world consultancy practice.
Master the entire structural design cycle - from architectural plans, structural planning, structural design, analysis to construction ready drawings through hands on training on 8+ real-world projects, with applied American & Dubai codes and professional software (Etabs, AutoCAD, SAFE, etc).

In this program, you learn to use industry standard tools to validate your engineering decisions. You will start by learning structural planning in AutoCAD, performing structural design, analysis in ETABS under ACI 318M, ASCE 7-16, DBC-2, designing foundations in SAFE, structural detailing using AutoCAD, STAAD RCDC and CSI Detail, and then finally generating "Good for Construction" (GFC) drawings in AutoCAD for site execution.

Course Curriculum

Why This Is a TRUE Structural Engineering Training Program

  • 84+ hours of structured, project-based structural engineering training focused on real project execution using industry-standard tools such as CSI ETABS, CSI SAFE, AutoCAD, STAAD RCDC, CSI Detail, and PROKON — reflecting real consultancy design workflows.
  • Unlike software-oriented courses that focus only on tool operations, this program emphasizes structural engineering fundamentals, design logic, and Indian code philosophy.
  • You will learn how to think like a structural engineer — understanding load paths, structural behaviour, stability requirements, and design checks — and then validate those engineering decisions using professional design software.
  • In parallel, the program builds strong competency in code-based RCC design, with detailed application of Indian Standard codes including ACI 318M, ASCE 7-16, Dubai building Code -21, Dubai wind Code, along with selective exposure to international standards such as IBC and UBC where relevant.

The 8-Step Professional Workflow You Will Master

1. Architectural Interpretation: Analyse architecture plans and client requirements.

2. Structural Planning: Execute column layouts and member sizing in AutoCAD.

3. Manual Loads Calculation: Perform load calculations per ASCE 7-16 & DBC-21.

4. Basic to Advanced Modelling: Build complex 3D structures in CSI ETABS.

5. Wind & Seismic Analysis: Conduct 10+ stability checks in Etabs for earthquake & wind resistance.

6. Foundation Design: Master isolated, combined, raft, and pile foundations in CSI SAFE.

7. RCC Detailing: Generate precise reinforcement detailing for structural members using AutoCAD, CSI Details & STAAD RCDC.

8. GFC Production: Deliver "Good for Construction" drawings in AutoCAD.

PROJECTS COVERED

You will develop end-to-end structural engineering skills by working on progressively complex projects, from basic low-rise RCC buildings to advanced high-rise and multi-storey structures.
