LUSAS
for Structural and Bridge
Applications Training Course
26-28
July 2010, Ramat Gan, Israel
LUSAS is running a 3-day
Structural and Bridge Applications Training Course at the offices
of KEDMOR ENGINEERS LTD in Ramat Gan, Israel.
- This
course is ideal for those new to LUSAS in your organisation,
or those of you using LUSAS and wanting to extend your
existing analysis capabilities.
- The
course will cover linear static analysis for a variety of bridge types
and loading to relevant design codes and can also, subject to
delegate requirements, include more advanced modelling and analysis
techniques such as staged construction and
soil-structure interaction.
- With
scheduled training courses normally held in London, this is an
ideal chance for you to save time, reduce your travelling
expenses, and benefit from additional discounts for sending
multiple delegates.

 This
course is for engineers with little or no prior knowledge of LUSAS
or for those wanting to refresh and add to their knowledge of primarily carrying out
linear static and linear buckling analysis for structural and bridge
applications.
The course covers getting started with LUSAS and then
proceeds to cover in detail the modelling and analysis options
available for creating beam models, modelling flat slabs, composite
construction, 3D modelling, and in correctly applying the various
types of bridge and structural loading available.
More advanced modeling and analysis
techniques such as staged construction and
soil-structure interaction can be covered according to delegate
requirements. Topics
covered will be selected from the following:
 About
LUSAS, finite element analysis, geometry, attributes, the LUSAS
treeview, section property calculators, viewing results,
documentation, sources of help
- Getting
more out of beam models,
tapering sections, discrete
loads and moving loads, temperature effects, settlement of
supports, enveloping and smart combinations, report writer,
obtaining natural frequencies
- Flat slabs, construction options/
classification, analysis options, isotropic slabs, plate models,
grillage analogy, orthotropic slabs, multicellular slabs, shear
key / box beam
- Beam and slab construction,
construction options/ classification, analysis options, mixing
elements, ordinary beams with top slab, box beams with top slab
- 3D modelling, plate girder
modelling, CAD import, accuracy of FE analysis, interpolation
and mesh refinement, element shapes, mesh patterns, surface and
volume meshing, linear buckling analysis, basic checklist
- Bridge
loading, principles and use of the vehicle load optimisation
facility, wheel loads
- Nonlinear
analysis, advanced analysis control,
geometric
nonlinear analysis, nonlinear materials,
plate
girder buckling
- Staged construction modelling
and techniques available for complex bridge construction
- Using LUSAS to model soil
structure interaction
Course cost: £850 GBP / $1250 USD
- KEDMOR ENGINEERS LTD have very
kindly agreed to host the event at its offices.
- Attendance will include course
handouts, lunch and refreshments.
- Discounts are available for
organisations sending two or more delegates and for academic
institutions. Please contact me for details.
