Eurocode 8 Masterclass: Deep Dive into Earthquake Design with RFEM 6!
The course "EUROCODE 8 Masterclass: Deep Dive into Earthquake Design with RFEM 6!" offers comprehensive training for structural designers, and building experts who want to deepen their knowledge of the design and assessment of structures under seismic conditions according to the EUROCODE 8 and DIN 4149 standards. This course will immerse you in the principles of Dynamic Analysis using RFEM 6 and the appropriate Add-ons.
What you can gain from this course:
- Module 1 provides an introduction to EUROCODE 8 and gives you an overview of the relevant sub-standards. You will get initial information on earthquake design, the products shown in the course, and the GEO-Zone Tool.
- Module 2 focuses on the basics of modal analysis and the specific properties of dynamics. Learn how to properly set up modal analysis in RFEM 6 and correctly interpret the results.
- Module 3 covers the response spectrum method, which plays a crucial role in dynamic design. You will learn how to create, modify, and integrate a response spectrum into the load analysis of the structure. This module also covers the stability checks and the consideration of second-order effects.
- Module 4 is all about the Building Model Add-on. Here, you will learn how to optimally use the building model in your calculations and modeling to efficiently create your multi-story structure and achieve maximum time savings.
- Module 5 focuses on non-linear verification methods, such as the pushover analysis. As usual, you will receive all the theoretical fundamentals you need, and a practical example will help illustrate the concepts.
What to expect:
- Practical lessons that guide you through real calculation examples.
- Downloadable models to apply and reinforce what you've learned.
- Expert tips based on years of experience and current best practices.
- Flexible learning that adapts to your schedule and pace.
This course is aimed at professionals who want to deepen their expertise in earthquake design and further develop their skills in line with European standards. Upon completion of the course, you will not only master the theory of EUROCODE 8 and DIN 4149 but also have the competence to apply these standards in practical, efficient, and innovative construction solutions.
Enjoy learning!
