PROKON Structural Analysis & Design Training with 8 CPD Hours

Instructor

Mr. Evani is a Structural Engineer by qualification, with over 25 years of professional experience in various construction industry related activities, including 12 years of industry related experience in Singapore. He has been providing user training in various Engineering software programs to the users in India, Singapore and Malaysia for many years.

Topics

• Introduction to all the general utilities, including databases, report generations and customisations.
• Analysis of 2D & 3D steel & RC building frames using FRAME analysis module, with all the available latest features of version 2.4.
• Concrete designs including prestress concrete.
• Steel designs including connection designs.
• Hands on session [Small class].

Why PROKON and why we do need training?

• To equip engineers with all the latest features in the software, so that engineers can best make us of the software for their projects.
• PROKON has several advanced interactive design modules, which makes it very unique and complements many other available programs in the market.
• Software can be used to quickly perform detailed designs of any component, including detailing. It can also be used to verify the designs carried out by other software packages by checkers.
• Hands on training under supervision will give users more confidence in using various advanced features.
