What will I learn?
This course equips you with practical tools to analyse cable-supported and shallow arch structures, covering funicular theory, sag optimisation, dynamic behaviour, and vibration control. You will learn to define loads, select material properties, perform straightforward hand calculations, compare cable and arch options, and create clear design notes for actual engineering projects.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Funicular cable analysis: compute sag, tension and reactions with fast hand methods.
- Two-hinged arch design: estimate thrust, bending and rise/span for shallow arches.
- Dynamic serviceability checks: assess pedestrian vibration and select damping solutions.
- Cable vs arch comparison: quantify reactions, foundations, cost and lifecycle impacts.
- Practical calc reporting: use clear templates, assumptions and concise design notes.

Your lessons are perfect. I got the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow several topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... I appreciate everything you do, and I've already recommended you to others...

I like how the lessons get straight to the point and how I can switch chapters and skip content I don't need.
