Abstract:
In 2006, the Applied Technology Council and Engineering New-Record honored ETABS as one of the “Top Seismic Products and Programs of the 20th Century.” Conceived in the early 1970s by Edward Wilson, a distinguished Professor of Structural Engineering at University of California-Berkeley, this software offers a truly integrated modeling, analysis, and design approach for concrete buildings. Several important features of this program are discussed.
