What will I learn?
This course equips you with practical tools to analyse cable-supported and shallow arch structures. Cover funicular theory, sag optimisation, dynamic behaviour, and vibration control. Learn to define loads, choose material properties, perform hand calculations, compare cable and arch options, and create concise design notes for actual 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 classes are perfect. I purchased the one-year package and finally have the opportunity to follow various topics of my interest without needing to switch platforms... I thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to other people...

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

Mariana FerresPhotography Student
I like the content and the way videos are presented and transcribed, which speeds up the process!

Luciana AlvarengaNail Design Student
The platform is fast, simple to use. The diversity of content and complementary videos really help with learning.
