Curriculum
Introduction to Structural Design Principles
This introductory section lays the groundwork for the entire course. Lectures cover the project overview (Introduction part 1), and delve into the crucial initial steps of determining the thickness and defining various slab types: waffle slab (types 1 and 2), one-way ribbed slab, flat slab, and solid slab. Understanding these fundamental concepts is key to successful structural modeling and analysis.
Revit & Robot Structural Modeling
This core section teaches you how to use Revit and Robot to model the 15-story building. You'll learn to define units and levels, create grids, model columns, shear walls, retaining walls, beams, slabs, and foundations in Revit. The process of preparing and exporting the Revit model to Robot for analysis is thoroughly explained. Within Robot, you'll learn to define units, materials, design codes, sections, and load combinations. Lectures cover mesh assignment, modeling stairs, and defining supports, ensuring your model is ready for analysis. Detailed instructions on running the analysis, interpreting results, and designing reinforcement for columns, beams, slabs, foundations, and shear walls are included. Earthquake load considerations and deflection checks are also covered.
Advanced Revit & Robot Techniques
This section delves into advanced applications of Revit and Robot. You'll learn to design a swimming pool using Robot, explore diverse grid definitions in Robot, and model circular beams and slabs. Additional advanced modeling techniques like stairs in Robot and creating isolated and strip foundations in Revit are also covered.
Complete Robot Structural Analysis Project
This section provides a comprehensive hands-on experience, guiding you through a complete structural analysis project using Robot, from defining units and grids to modeling, assigning slab sections, modeling stairs, and performing the analysis of columns, beams, slabs, walls and foundations, all within the Robot software.
Comprehensive Revit Review
This section provides a thorough review of all the Revit skills covered throughout the course, ensuring complete understanding and mastery of the software.
Civil Engineering Context and Best Practices
This section offers valuable insights into the broader field of civil engineering. Lectures explore the evolution of civil engineering, provide motivational insights, detail the 12 steps of construction, and offer crucial checklists for structural engineers conducting site inspections.
