Free Webinar: Design of Post-Tensioned Floors using PT Designer
Pro Dasgupta, Ph.D., P.E. and Bodhi Sunder Rudra
This free webinar will briefly introduce and demonstrate the newly implemented features in PT Designer, a software for designing post-tensioned floors. While doing so it will go over some design examples. The examples will include a two-way slab, long span beam and a two-way structural mat foundation. The three examples will be straight forward and highlight the steps used to create an efficient, code compliant and state-of-practice design. The webinar will guide the viewers through all the steps involved in the design of these structures in PT Designer and explain the associated results. The examples will be useful to both the novice and seasoned designer. Additionally, the seminar will highlight upon the intuitive and user-friendly interface, along with the built-in warnings and functions to help promote good designs.
Speaker Bio
Dr. AlaaEldin Abouelleil received a master’s degree and a doctoral degree in structural engineering from Kansas State University as well as a certificate of applied mathematics. His research was a collaboration with Kansas department of transportation to confine bridge piers with fiber reinforced polymers for additional capacity. His doctoral degree was to create a novel theory for shear stress computation in cracked reinforced concrete flexural beams. After graduation in 2018, he worked as an adjunct professor as well as a senior engineering software developer. Abouelleil joined S. K. Ghosh Associates LLC in 2022, he has been involved in the development of computer programs, technical documentation, and publications. He is also involved in finite element analysis (FEA) for various structural engineering projects.
