TWO HOURS - TIME BREAK FOR THIS WEBINAR

1st 🕦 60 Minutes:
Project Overview & Initial Design

• Briefly introduce the project scope, objectives, and key structural elements.
• Discuss the importance of stability checks (e.g., lateral stability, drift control) and design checks for various loads in ETABS.
• Step-by-step guide to creating a preliminary footing layout in AutoCAD.
• Discuss considerations for sizing and placement of footings based on ETABS results.

2nd 🕦 60 Minutes:
Project Setup in CSI SAFE

• Introduction to CSI SAFE for foundation design.
• How to model foundations in SAFE, perform analysis, and conduct serviceability checks (e.g., settlement, deflection).
• Finalizing the substructure design with focus on foundation details, material choices, and load-bearing capacity.

3rd 🕦 30 Minutes:
Advance in Modeling & Footing Design

• Discuss when and why to use shell thin, shell thick, or membrane elements based on structural behavior.
• Explanation of the benefits of modeling the stiffness of the foundation rather than directly modeling columns over the footings.
• Common meshing issues in footing design and techniques for resolving them (e.g., mesh density, element type).

4th 🕦 30 Minutes:
Structural Design Considerations, Checks And Q&A

• Step-by-step process for performing punching shear checks around shear walls and the importance of reinforcing the foundation in these areas.
• Explanation of "relaxation" in Soil Bearing Capacity (SBC) for earthquake and wind load cases.
• Why SBC considerations may change depending on dynamic loading conditions.
• Open the floor for participants to ask questions related to the topics covered during the webinar.
• Summarize the key takeaways and provide any additional resources or next steps.
