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, select materials, perform hand calculations, compare cable and arch options, and create justified design notes for projects.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Funicular cable analysis: compute sag, tension, and reactions using quick 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 calculation reporting: use clear templates, assumptions, and concise design notes.

Your classes are perfect. I got the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow a range of topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... thank you for everything you do, 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.
