This course is a complete practical guide to ETABS, designed for civil engineering students, fresh graduates who want to model, analyze, and design real-world RCC buildings using Indian Standard (IS) codes.

The course starts from the absolute basics and gradually progresses to advanced seismic and dynamic analysis. You will work on multiple real residential building models including G+3, G+4, and G+8 structures. Every topic is explained step by step with practical implementation, focusing on real engineering workflow rather than only software commands.

This course is structured to help learners understand not just how to use ETABS, but why each modeling, loading, analysis, and design step is performed in professional practice.

What You Will Learn
