Webinar on GEN NX RCC Beam-Column Joint Design as per IS 13920

Webinar Overview

This webinar provides a focused exploration of RCC Beam-Column Joint design under seismic conditions, specifically addressing the comparison of Shear Capacity versus Joint Shear Capacity as mandated by IS 13920.

Participants will gain practical insight into the engineering principles behind joint shear checks and learn how to efficiently perform these evaluations using MIDAS GEN NX. Through guided demonstrations and real-world examples, attendees will understand how software-based verification can improve design accuracy, code compliance, and project efficiency.
