COMPUTERS
& STRUCTURES, INC.
THE SAP2000 & ETABS SEMINAR TOUR OF INDIA
THE AUTOMATION OF STRUCTURAL & EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
NEW ADVANCES IN NUMERICAL METHODS
Speaker: Ashraf Habibullah, S.E.
President and CEO, Computers
& Structures, Inc., Berkeley, California, USA
Over the past decade, major advances in computer capacity, speed
and usability have resulted in the development of a wide range of
innovative concepts and techniques. The intent of this Seminar is
to demonstrate how these developments ~ as implemented in SAP2000
and ETABS ~ are redefining standards of acceptability and productivity
in Structural and Earthquake Engineering. The presentation will
also focus on issues that Structural Engineers have struggled with
for decades and how these issues have been addressed in simple and
practical ways in SAP2000 and ETABS.
