CE72.32 : Tall Buildings 3(3-0) | ||
Course objectives: | ||
The objective of this course is to equip students with advanced knowledge of multi-disciplinary aspects on planning, system selection, modeling, analysis, design and construction of tall buildings. The course objectives and content has been designed keeping in view the overall design process involved in a typical high-rise building project. Hands-on training of finite element software with real-life examples accompanied by online content on various practical aspects will help in achieving course objectives. |
