International course: Finite Element Analysis of (reinforced) Concrete Structures

TNO DIANA BV is pleased to invite you to its training course on the Nonlinear Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures. The training course consists of a balanced mixture of lectures and hands-on computer analyses with the DIANA finite element software.

Benefits of this four day seminar include:

• Focus on the application of the finite element method in the structural analysis of concrete structures. The lectures will be followed by exercises to provide participants with hands-on experience relevant to the presented theory
• Attention to the nonlinear analysis of (reinforced) concrete structures with special emphasis on crack modelling, creep and shrinkage effect, fire analysis, and pre/post-tensioning of concrete segments. Delegates will learn good-practice in nonlinear finite element analysis. Consideration will also be given to the criteria needed in choosing from the different crack models that are available, convergence criteria, and specification of the relevant corresponding parameters.

Who should attend: The course is designed for practising engineers or academics who wish to learn more about finite element analysis techniques using DIANA. The course content will be relevant to current and potential users of finite element software and engineers involved in consultancy services.

Course Tutors:

• Dr Jean-Claude Bauruelle - TNO DIANA BV
• Dr Maziar Partovi - TNO DIANA BV
• Guest Lecturer - TBC

Software Information:
Exercises and case studies are based on the DIANA software. DIANA (DIsplacement ANAlyzer) is an extensive multi-purpose finite element software package that is dedicated, but not exclusive, to analysis of a wide range of problems arising in civil and oil & gas engineering including structural, geotechnical, tunnelling, and earthquake engineering disciplines.

A one month trial version of DIANA will be made accessible to first time users of DIANA. This trial will be made available during the course.

Seminar Layout:

• Timing for the course on each day is: 9.00am - 5.30pm
• Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop. Please ensure that your laptop meets the minimum requirements as described on our support page
• Lunches and refreshments are provided
