INTRODUCTION
The recently published National Building Construction Standards (NBCS), Part C, Section 6(A) incorporates significant changes to the provisions for the design of steel structures, with reference to the earlier provisions of IS 800:2007. These changes address several important aspects of structural steel design, reflecting further developments in design methodology, safety requirements, fabrication practices, and sustainability.
The revised document introduces important modifications relating to the tensile properties of structural steel products, temperature stress analysis, fire load, width-to-thickness limitations, second-order effects, earthquake-resistant design, bracing connections, fabrication procedures, cross-section buckling classification, and lateral-torsional buckling. It also introduces provisions for sustainable steel construction and detailed design requirements for corrugated web girders.
We understand that IS 800 is also under revision and that the updated version, expected to be published as IS 800:2026, will incorporate revisions in line with the updated provisions of NBCS Part C, Section 6(A). In this evolving standards landscape, it is important for practising structural engineers to familiarise themselves with the latest published provisions and assess their implications for existing design practices, in-house procedures, and software-based design workflows.
With this objective, SQVe presents STEEL-STR-009: Design of Steel Structures in Line with NBCS Part C, Section 6(A), an online course designed to facilitate a systematic understanding of the revised provisions and their practical implementation in structural steel design.
What Will Be Covered in This Course?
The course will focus on decoding and discussing the important clauses and provisions of NBCS Part C, Section 6(A), with particular emphasis on the significant changes introduced in the revised document. The discussions will examine the intent of the provisions, their engineering implications, and the aspects requiring particular attention during structural analysis, design, and checking.
The course will also address the implementation of the revised provisions in structural design software STAAD Pro & ETABS. Through selected numerical simulations and manual calculations, we will examine relevant software settings, study the generated output, and compare the results with the applicable requirements of the document. These exercises will help identify potential gaps in software implementation and highlight areas where design procedures, input parameters, interpretation of results, or verification practices may require review.
This course is designed to help practising structural engineers, consultants, design professionals, and young engineers understand the significant changes introduced in NBCS Part C, Section 6(A), and their implications for the analysis and design of steel structures. With a practical focus on clause-wise discussions, STAAD Pro & ETABS simulations, and critical evaluation of software-generated results, the course will help bridge the gap between understanding the revised provisions and implementing them in day-to-day design practice. It will also be beneficial for organizations intending to review and update their internal design procedures, working instructions, design checklists, standard practices, and software-related Do’s & Don’ts in line with the updated provisions.
Detailed content of the training program is mentioned in Annexure-A of the brochure.
