Prokon is Structural Analysis and Design is a suite of over forty structural analysis, design, and detailing programs. The first Prokon programs were developed in 1989, and today Prokon is used worldwide in over eighty countries. The suite is modular in nature, but its true power lies in the tight integration between analysis, design, and detailing programs.
Prokon software is the most popular software to be used by the engineering offices in Jordan due to its ability to design any single element without the need to analyze all building elements. This course aims to provide participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to design all structural elements and clarify the dimensions and area of steel (reinforcement) of the sections which were designed by the software.
