This expert webinar presents a practical case study of a multi-storey reinforced concrete building comprising a two-floor podium and an eight-floor tower. Follow the complete structural workflow, from developing the flat-slab model with drop panels and column capitals to defining load cases and applying gravity and seismic loads.
Through a step-by-step demonstration using MIDAS GEN NX, discover how to evaluate structural behaviour, interpret analysis results and perform flexural design, shear verification and serviceability checks in accordance with applicable Eurocode requirements.
Designed for structural engineers, building design consultants and civil engineering professionals, this session will provide practical insights into reinforced concrete building modelling, structural analysis and code-based design verification.
Register now to explore a real-world RC building design workflow using MIDAS GEN NX.

Explore the complete Eurocode-based workflow for modelling, loading, analysing and designing a multi-storey reinforced-concrete flat-slab building using MIDAS GEN NX.
Define units, Eurocode material grades and section properties, then build the grid, columns, walls and slab geometry.
Model thickened slab zones and column heads, and assign their thickness offsets for realistic punching and stiffness behaviour.
Control slab mesh size around columns, set boundary conditions, and apply rigid or semi-rigid diaphragm assumptions.
Define static, live (including pattern live load) and seismic load cases, and generate Eurocode strength and serviceability combinations.
Apply self-weight, superimposed dead loads, finishes, partitions, façade line loads and live loads to the slab panels.
Convert loads to mass and apply Eurocode 8 response spectrum or equivalent static loads, with accidental eccentricity and drift checks.
Check deflections, moment contours, design strip forces, column reactions and punching shear demand after the model is solved.
Carry out Eurocode 2 flexural design, punching shear verification, deflection and crack-width checks, and review reinforcement output.
