Summary of the table's contents
Day 3 (Optional)
  • Hands-on training in design of post-tensioned buildings.
  • Working on your own laptop, using the latest 3D FEM version of ADAPT program
  • Learn tips and tricks for the efficient modeling and design of post-tensioned slabs
  • Starting with the architect’s drawing, participants will be guided through the design process to conclude with the construction and fabrication drawings
  • Each participant will receive a trial version of ADAPT software

Workshop Benefits:

  • Obtain a hands-on experience and exposure to efficient design of post-tensionined buildings
  • Become closeley familiar with the latest design tools and methods
  • Receive detailed information, literature and design examples of common post-tensioned buildings
