How did the geographic
information journey begin?!
The history of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) dates back
centuries to the time when maps were hand-drawn and primarily
used for exploration, military planning, and trade. As civilizations
progressed, mapping techniques and methods for analyzing
geographic data evolved alongside them.

How did the geographic
information journey begin?!
The industrial revolution and the development of computers
marked a quantum leap in the field of GIS. The advent of
computers made it possible to store and analyze vast amounts of
geographic data with greater accuracy and speed.

The Most Important Milestones
in the Development of GIS
The Nineteenth Century:
Geographic studies began to take on a more scientific approach,
and new methods were developed for collecting and analyzing
geographic data.
Mid-Twentieth Century:
This era witnessed major advancements in computer technology,
which had a profound impact on the development of Geographic
Information Systems.

The Most Important Milestones
in the Development of GIS
Late Twentieth Century:
The first commercial GIS programs emerged, such as ArcGIS, which
became the global standard in the field.
Twenty-First Century:
GIS experienced widespread adoption across various fields, thanks
to significant developments in computer technology and the
Internet.

The Importance of Studying
GIS in Our Current Era
GIS are essential tools in many fields, such as:
Urban Planning: Assessing the environmental impact of urban projects
and designing cities sustainably.
Natural Resource Management: Tracking changes in vegetation cover,
monitoring environmental pollution, and managing protected areas.
Marketing: Analyzing target markets and determining the locations for
new company branches.
Government Administration: Planning infrastructure and delivering
services to citizens.
Environmental Sciences: Studying climate change and its effects on the
environment.

Welcome to
the Structural CAD Course!
Our primary goal is to equip you with the skills
needed to transform architectural drawings into
structural ones effectively and professionally. This is
a critical step in bridging the gap between design
and construction.

Iconic Projects
Burj Khalifa Eiffel Tower

Structural Integrity:
Ensures the building can withstand loads (gravity, wind, earthquakes, etc.)
Designs a safe and stable framework (foundation, beams, columns, etc.)
Material Analysis:
Determines suitable materials for structural elements based on strength
and durability.
Cost Efficiency:
Optimizes structural solutions to reduce costs while maintaining safety.
Risk Management:
Anticipates potential structural risks and provides solutions.
Main skills of a Civil Engineer

SAP2000 is a program used to analyze and design structures,
created by
Computers and Structures Incorporated (CSI). It is one of the
most
popular and powerful tools in civil engineering, and it uses the
Finite Element Method (FEM) for structural analysis.
What is SAP2000?

Structural Analysis: Its the Analysis of different loads such as
live loads, dead loads, earthquakes and wind loads
Design: Design of structural elements such as Coulmns And
beams accrding to various international codes. Verification of
the safety of elements and their optimization to reduce
material usage while ensuring safety.
Structural Modeling: Creation of 3D models for any structure.
Dynamic Analysis: Analysis of the response of structures to
dynamic loads such as earthquakes and vibrations.
SAP2000 Program Functions

Complex Designs: Works on big projects like SkyScrapers
Bridges
Works with Other Tools: Connects with AutoCAD and Revit
Accurate Results: Gives clear and correct outputs
Saves Time and Effort: Speeds up analysis reduces mistakes ,
making projects more efficient.
3D Views: Shows results in 3D
Advantages of SAP2000 Program

Revit is a powerful 3D modeling software that uses BIM
(Building Information Modeling) to help engineers and
architects design, analyze, and document building projects in
one platform.
What is Revit ?

Model Structures in 3D
Design beams, columns, foundations, and walls with accuracy.
Work Together Easily
Combine designs with architects and MEP engineers to avoid
clashes.
Save Time
Automatically generate structural plans, sections, and
quantities.
Analyze Data
Prepare models for load and stress analysis.
Visualize Your Ideas
See the entire structure in 3D before it’s built
Revit & Structural Engineering

Understand Real-Life Projects: Practice modeling
structures as done in the industry.
Prepare for Your Career: Gain skills that are in high
demand.
Work Smarter: Impress with professional, well-
documented academic projects.
Collaborate: Learn how to work on multidisciplinary
designs effectively.
