We are going to initiate “Weekly Live Technical Discussion” series on the topics for which industry is facing difficulties. The topic will be decided in advance and the technical discussion will be conducted through the live stream at youtube. The sessions will be organized on every Sunday at 11:00am.
The topic for upcoming Sunday (13-Sep-20) is “Gravity Columns”. The concept of gravity column is included in the latest IS codes related to earthquake resistant design. I have received many questions from the practicing engineers like how to model the gravity columns, design of gravity columns, which columns can be considered as gravity columns, etc. In the upcoming session on Sunday, the technical discussion will be focused on the gravity columns.
