The integration of Artificial Intelligence into civil engineering design and structural engineering has evolved from a theoretical concept to a transformative force redefining modern design, analysis, and construction execution. In today's industry, where precision, optimization, and rapid project delivery determine competitive advantage, engineering teams increasingly rely on AI-assisted modelling, automated simulation, and predictive analytics to produce high-performance de

When it comes to high-rise construction, the integration of shear walls is non-negotiable for ensuring lateral stability against wind and seismic forces. ETABS is often the industry-standard tool for this. However, you simply can’t rely on ETABS's default settings and initial analysis runs. Allowing you to save material, reduce construction time, and ultimately decrease project costs, the true efficiency lies in an efficient shear wall design. As a civil engineer, knowing she

For most structural engineers, the real value of ETABS only appears when you move from static load cases to dynamic behavior. Modal analysis in ETABS is where you stop treating the building as a single “P-Delta + response spectrum” black box and start understanding how each degree of freedom contributes to seismic and vibration demands. This is not about pressing “Run” and checking a time period against IS 1893. It is about reading the modes, understanding mass participation,
