RC Structural Engineering

This training program, designed for civil and structural engineers, is exactly crafted to guide participants in mastering the Protastrure’s application for real-world projects while also exploring its capabilities. Throughout the training, participants will immerse themselves in the details of Protastructure, gaining hands-on experience in creating accurate 3D models of buildings. Whether starting from architectural drawings in REVIT or modelling from scratch, our course ensures a smooth transition from conceptualization to final detailing without the need for additional software, offering a streamlined and efficient design process.
A cornerstone of our training is the in-depth exploration of Protastructure’s dynamic analysis capabilities, empowering engineers to evaluate structural responses to seismic, wind, and dynamic loads. This unique focus provides participants with crucial insights into optimizing designs for
maximum efficiency and safety, setting them apart as experts in the field. The course places a strong emphasis on practical application, guiding engineers through the use of Protastructure to design
individual structural components such as columns, beams, and slabs. By incorporating international
design codes and regulations, participants ensure that their structural designs comply with industry
standards, creating a robust foundation for safe and efficient projects.

Foundation design, a critical aspect of structural engineering, is comprehensively covered in our training. Participants will utilize Protastructure’s tools to analyze soil properties, determine bearing capacity, and design both shallow and deep foundations, seamlessly integrating these elements into the overall structural model. 

Seismic design principles take center stage in our course, as engineers learn to effectively evaluate the seismic response of buildings and design structural elements accordingly. The focus extends beyond theoretical principles to practical considerations, such as reinforcement detailing and factors like ductility and energy dissipation, ensuring structures are resilient against seismic forces.


For construction companies, The software’s intuitive interface and robust capabilities streamline 3D modeling, advanced structural analysis, and detailed design calculations, enabling teams to deliver safe and optimized structural solutions in a collaborative environment. 

Beyond the technical aspects, our training delves into Protastructure’s capacity to generate detailed structural documentation and reports. Participants will acquire skills in creating comprehensive drawings, material schedules, and essential documentation vital for effective construction and communication with stakeholders.
