Session 57: IS 1893 (Part 4)

INTRODUCTION

LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES

India has already witnessed devastating earthquakes in the past and may witness even higher intensity of earthquakes in the future. Industrial structures are highly vulnerable during seismic events as they are irregular to meet the functional requirements. IS 1893 (Part 4) is addressing the aspects of earthquake resistant design of industrial structures in India.

Recently, BIS has published draft standard of IS 1893 (Part 4) for comments. Following are the details of the document:

  • Document Number : CED 39 (18642)WC

    Nitin Sharma

    I would like to thanks and appreciate for this helpful course comprising of STAAD PRO Training and Design concepts for RCC and Steel. In this module I have learned in detail about essential concepts for designing industrial buildings and gained an understanding of different types of Analysis. I also acquired the knowledge of different types of Codes. Moreover, l was introduced with FEM, design of foundation, anchor bolts and connections. All the sessions were very interactive and engaging. The valuable knowledge that i have gained in these two months will certainly be propitious to start my career as a structural engineer.

    Mainak Ghosal

    The Course WIND-STR-002 was very effective. It changed my perspective on not only wind engineering but also seismic loading analysis. Dr.Gupta also referred some excellent books which would not have been possible otherwise. Last but not the least, Dr. Gupta was kind enough to give me the charges of highlighting the errata for the Explanatory Handbook on Wind Engineering.

    D. Nivetha

    The Staad Pro Training sessions were extremely fruitful, informative and it gave deeper insights into the field of structural engineering. Bhavin sir had not only taught us the software of Staad Pro, but he had explained us several technical concepts based on his field experiences. It was an interactive session where sir had asked us questions and it helped us think a lot and come up with solutions. Overall, it’s been a great experience and this 25 day of training has taught me a lot and has inspired me to develop greater passion towards civil engineering.

    RATHISH V R

    I really enjoyed throughout the journey of the course STEEL-STR-001 wherein I improved by Fundamental Knowledge in the Design of Steel Structures.

    Anal Shah

    The course WIND-STR-002 was so interactive and Dr. Abhay Gupta was so kind enough to listen to all queries and answer them in very great detail. Also time spent by Dr. Gupta is highly appreciated. Great job Dr. Gupta in spreading the knowledge.

    Dhirender Singh Bisht

    I am pursuing masters in structural engineering and steel was the topic that I found always challenging since my B.Tech times. Moreover this is also a missing topic for the syllabus of many universities in masters program. To understand its theory ,and execute it practically in software is really challenging and need a mentor for that. I’ve been following Bhavin sir from last few months and was it was my good decision to choose him as a guide. By the course STEEL-STR-001, now I can feel that I am in a position to explore boundaries of IS code, and also I’m enthusiastic to see how Euro code, AISC code and other countries code tackles the problem which sounds to be complicated in IS code.

    Mohd Ameen Irfan

    Bhavin Sir is very experienced and expert in his field, He made the topics in online course STAAD-STR-001 very clear from the scratch and also addressed every student’s queries and problems very nicely!!!

    Kunal Patil

    At first I never expected the sessions which are going to be conducted would be so knowledgeable. Day by day listening to Abhay sir touching every aspect from the codal point of view, few from his own experience. The mixture of everything made this course WIND-STR-002 very valuable and useful. Before this course I was trying to learn from everywhere how does this wind dynamic forces are to be calculated but through SQVE consultants arranging this webinar and learning under experience fraternity was worthwhile.

    Dr. Vinubhai Patel

    The course WIND-STR-002 was really very much informative and useful. Enjoyed a lot.

    Mr. AJAY NARAYAN JADHAV

    JUST TO APPRECIATE THE WORKSHOP STAAD-STR-001, IT HAS BEEN VERY USEFUL FOR ME. I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE DYNAMIC OF THE SESSIONS, VERY ACTIVE, INTERESTING, AND WELL ORGANISED AND GREAT TO SHARE EXPERIENCES. MANY THANKS TO THE SPEAKER AND ORGANISERS!!…..ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU FOR SHARING AN INSPIRING LEARNING EXPERIENCE 👍

    REVA VENU V M

    I am a budding geotechnical engineering professional. For three years I have worked as faculty in NIT and recently joined as project fellow- geotechnical engineering in a research Institute. Now I am in the transition phase of my career ie, shifting from academics to industry. My desire to become a geotechnical engineering consultant inspired me to join this course. As I don’t have much industrial exposure, attending the course GEO-STR-001 helped me to gain a lot of practical knowledge related to geotechnical engineering. Especially the discussions related to soil investigation, interpretation of soil report and interactive sessions were really amazing. Queries of other participants and the discussions associated with it,were really informative, as it mainly focussed on current industrial practices. Thank you Vivek sir and Bhavin sir for giving this wonderful opportunity. Hoping for a better support in my future endeavours too. Also expecting further courses related to this, in the coming future.

    BHARATENDU PATEL

    This course related to STAAD.Pro and case studies was beyond the conventional software training. It helped me conceptualise the idea behind the behaviour of any structure, understand the special requirements between steel and concrete structures. Real life case study and interactive sessions made the learning more impactful.

    Tarnpreet Singh Gill

    The course content for STEEL-STR-001 has been thoroughly devised to be effective in best manner. Sharing of Recorded Sessions was the best part as I myself missed few end sessions due to office pressure but I could complete these later on. Making a permanent whatsapp group for discussion was also a good idea.

    Haridharan M K

    The online course EQ-STR-001 was very informative and it covered all the aspects of IS1893, IS16700, IS13920 and more important sharing the videos of the course which enabled to go through at any time.

    Sujata Gupta

    It gives a good awareness about software as well as corresponding codal provisions. So one can get technical knowledge as well as how software using clauses giving in codes. Teacher is very patient, soft spoken and knowledgeable person. Topics selected in the course STEEL-STR-001 are very relevant, useful and to the point for design and analysis of steel structure.

    JAKEER HUSSAIN

    WIND-STR-002 : Explanation regarding wind action and building response due to wind, and the way of clarifications to participants questions by Dr. Abhay Gupta sir was excellent. Looking forward to attend relevant upcoming webinars/courses.

    Ajay Narayan Jadhav

    The course WIND-STR-001 provided Excellent clarifications on IS875 clauses.

    Shefali Thakkar

    STEEL-STR-001 was the best interactive course ,wherein all practical facts and limitations those are related with prevailing standards, software and practices were discussed. Vision was provided to participate towards solving such prevailing limitations rather following the same collaboratively. Course content was described very effectively and constant encouragement on experiments of the course deliverables and raising doubts and solving the same. Effective time management by faculty to satisfy all participants’ queries along with effective delivery of course content. 24 hour interaction facility was made available for solving course related queries.

    Sharad Gupta

    I am very grateful to Er. Dr. Abhay Gupta and Mr. Bhavin Shah for sharing your knowledge with us even though we have the same profession. Your course WIND-STR-002 helped me to clear many of the doubts I had sine the past 20 years.

    Session 56: Lessons learned from sequential EQs in Turkey

    INTRODUCTION

    LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES


    ◼ Sequential of EQs were happened. Magnitude 7.8 happened at 4 am, and Magnitude 7.5 happened at 1 pm (many 6.5 in between). Record from one station indicates that PGA of the first mainshock was around ~0.7g. The spectral acceleration exceeded 2g around 0.5-0.6 seconds. Additionally, the vertical acceleration was ~1.4g.

    ◼ Over 10,000 buildings were collapsed by the EQs. And many of the buildings were built before 2000. So, they were designed based on old Turkish Code. Collapses were mostly multi-story/mid-rise (5-20 stories). They were mainly concrete buildings.

    ◼ Collapses should be evaluated in two categories; are collapses before the second mainshock and collapses after the second mainshock (plus aftershocks).

    ◼ Collapses before the second mainshock: Collapsed buildings were designed based on reduced EQ loads (using response modification factor (R)) by relying on ductility; however, the collapses showed nonductile behavior (brittle). Please, check both ductile and brittle collapse on the graph below. Basic ductile design philosophy is “survive the main shock, and get out of the building safely”. However, the collapses indicate that design reinforcements were didn’t supplied as required by the code. Designers – authority of jurisdictions – constructors should be one mechanism to follow the code instructions.

    ◼ Collapses after the second mainshock: Many of the collapses were obtained after the second main shock (Magnitude 7.5). The first main shock and aftershocks softened/weakened/hinged buildings, and the second mainshock destroyed most of the softened buildings. This is because of P-delta (large deformation). Why? Because it causes negative tangent stiffness on the buildings, and when it exceeds the plastic stiffness (hinged stiffness), buildings are collapsed due to instability. And the other consideration is fracture due to low cycle fatigue. Ductile elements have a finite accumulative strain capacity.

    ◼ Important lessons: One of the important lessons is missing sequential shocks specification on every seismic code in the world. It might be great research to study performance-based design for sequential shocks! Other one is determining/reviewing/retrofitting old buildings. Old buildings should get engineering services based on new code provisions.

    In the upcoming live event, Dr. T. Deniz Uludag will join us for the very important discussion.

    Please note that the discussion will be based on initial analysis/thoughts. We may organise more numbers of sessions in the future as and when more detailed analysis is shared by the investigation teams.

    It would be great if you can share your specific queries/doubts related to Turkey EQs in advance which would help us to structure the flow of discussion.

    In the following registration form, you may share the specific doubts/questions related to the topic or you may share your point of view, discussion points, etc. which may be addressed during the session.

    STEEL-STR-001 is very useful course for updating to new code for steel design of buildings.

    Dhirender Singh Bisht

    I am pursuing masters in structural engineering and steel was the topic that I found always challenging since my B.Tech times. Moreover this is also a missing topic for the syllabus of many universities in masters program. To understand its theory ,and execute it practically in software is really challenging and need a mentor for that. I’ve been following Bhavin sir from last few months and was it was my good decision to choose him as a guide. By the course STEEL-STR-001, now I can feel that I am in a position to explore boundaries of IS code, and also I’m enthusiastic to see how Euro code, AISC code and other countries code tackles the problem which sounds to be complicated in IS code.

    Anvitha Yadama

    It has been an excellent course and given me an in-depth understanding on ETABS and STAAD.Pro software .

I hope more such courses are on the way.

    REVA VENU V M

    I am a budding geotechnical engineering professional. For three years I have worked as faculty in NIT and recently joined as project fellow- geotechnical engineering in a research Institute. Now I am in the transition phase of my career ie, shifting from academics to industry. My desire to become a geotechnical engineering consultant inspired me to join this course. As I don’t have much industrial exposure, attending the course GEO-STR-001 helped me to gain a lot of practical knowledge related to geotechnical engineering. Especially the discussions related to soil investigation, interpretation of soil report and interactive sessions were really amazing. Queries of other participants and the discussions associated with it,were really informative, as it mainly focussed on current industrial practices. Thank you Vivek sir and Bhavin sir for giving this wonderful opportunity. Hoping for a better support in my future endeavours too. Also expecting further courses related to this, in the coming future.

    Session 54: Understanding of Structural Behaviour

    LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES

    Graduates who have studied structures for four years cannot draw the bending moment on a loaded cantilever. Is this satisfactory??

    Episode 1: In the beginning…
    Episode 2: Testing the Arup graduates

    Source: https://www.davidbrohn.com/podcasts/

    The recent graduates can not draw the bending moment diagram and shear force for simple cantilevers! This situation is indeed quite dangerous as dependency on the computers is gradually increasing. The structural behaviour obtained from the computer analysis must be checked before proceeding for the next stage of design.

    Do we have any alternative means for verifying the structural behaviour instead of complex calculations?

    Source: https://www.davidbrohn.com/downloads/

    In the upcoming live discussion David Brohn, MBE PhD CEng FIStructE will join with us for the interesting live discussion related to understanding of the structural behaviour.

    It would be great if you can share your specific queries/doubts related to the subject in advance which would help us to structure the flow of discussion.

    In the following registration form, you may share the specific doubts/questions related to the topic which may be addressed during the session.

    Brief about Expert

    David Brohn, MBE PhD CEng FIStructE

    Brohn worked on the design of the Sydney Opera House Shells at Arup London. This was followed by post-graduate study and PhD at Leeds University. He became an academic at Bristol Polytechnic and in his first class, preparing students for the IStructE Chartered Membership exam, he found that they had a poor understanding of structural behaviour and devised a test. He then tested the graduate intake into Arup for three years which confirmed that there was a serious deficiency in understanding. Arup then commissioned Brohn to develop a training course to correct this lack of understanding and this course has been run for 50 years, to the leading consultants in the UK, Denmark and Dubai and India. 12 years ago the courses were redesigned for online delivery and are now available on the new site.

    HOW TO REGISTER FOR THE EVENT?

    Registration is FREE. You may share the specific doubts/queries/discussion points which may be discussed during the session. It would help us to structure the discussion.

    An online course DYN-STR-001 : Design of Machine Foundations” will commence from 14-DEC-23. We will discuss step-by-step approach for the design along with software application. Book your seat now!

As I don’t have much industrial exposure, attending the course GEO-STR-001 helped me to gain a lot of practical knowledge related to geotechnical engineering. Especially the discussions related to soil investigation, interpretation of soil report and interactive sessions were really amazing. Queries of other participants and the discussions associated with it,were really informative, as it mainly focussed on current industrial practices. Thank you Vivek sir and Bhavin sir for giving this wonderful opportunity. Hoping for a better support in my future endeavours too. Also expecting further courses related to this, in the coming future.

    Combined Piled Raft Foundation Foundation engineering Geotechnical Engineering

    Design of Combined Piled Raft Foundation

    INTRODUCTION

    LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES

    In the conventional pile foundation system, the entire load is transmitted to the piles through pile cap. However, in Combined Piled Raft Foundation (CPRF), the raft will also resist the load through contact pressure against soil beneath. For CPRF, the piles will be designed to undergo relatively higher displacement as compared to the conventional pile foundation to allow for the contact pressure between the raft and soil beneath. Hence, the settlement in CPRF system will be relatively higher than the conventional pile foundation system and at the same time diameter and number of piles will be lesser for CPRF as compared to the conventional pile foundation. Design of CPRF require extensive interface between geotechnical and structural engineers.

    Recently, BIS has published draft document for design and construction of CPRF. In the document important areas such as angular distortion, differential settlement, pile-soil interaction, pile-pile interaction, raft-soil interaction, pile-raft interaction, information required for CPRF design, design steps for CPRF design, proof of design and construction of CPRF, monitoring of CPRF, etc.

    Draft document from BIS can be downloaded from the following link:

    https://www.services.bis.gov.in/tmp/WCCED21221409_14122022_1.pdf

    I am pursuing masters in structural engineering and steel was the topic that I found always challenging since my B.Tech times. Moreover this is also a missing topic for the syllabus of many universities in masters program. To understand its theory ,and execute it practically in software is really challenging and need a mentor for that. I’ve been following Bhavin sir from last few months and was it was my good decision to choose him as a guide. By the course STEEL-STR-001, now I can feel that I am in a position to explore boundaries of IS code, and also I’m enthusiastic to see how Euro code, AISC code and other countries code tackles the problem which sounds to be complicated in IS code.

    Structural Engneering tensile fabric structures

    Session 53: Tensile Fabric Structures

    INTRODUCTION

    LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES

    Tensile fabric structures are considered as special structures as they are not covered in detail in the code of practice. Also, the routine software may not be useful for performing the design of such structures. Each tensile fabric structure is unique!

    There are several questions related to design of tensile fabric structures:

    • Why does the tensile fabric require an analysis using specialized software? End of the day, it is just another roofing materials like polycarbonate sheet / metal roofing.
    • Conceptual design of tensile fabric & Structural system – does it need an input from a designer?
    • Why does the fabric require a slope and to maintain an anticlastic form?
    • How to estimate loads on the structure? Any thumb rules available using tributary area methods?
    • What are the software used for the analysis? What kinds of analysis are performed?
    • Selection of different types of fabric – based on strength Vs Performance Vs Fire classification
    • Comprehensive model of fabric, cables and steel for analysis and design – is it a myth or can provide lot of clarity as well as saving?
    • Is the sequence of installation critical for tensile fabric structure?
    • What is the importance of Biaxial test results in fabric?
    • Designing and detailing of membrane plates – is it a high precision activity in terms of structural calculation of components and detailing.
    • How to account for Impact of deformation steel structure supporting the fabric in terms of engineering as well as production and installation
    • Why Review, Inspection and Testing are important on tensile fabric structure projects.
    • As a proof-checking consultant, how to review the design calculations and drawings?
    • What are the quality assurance requirements?
    • What to inspect at site?

    Upcoming live discussion is scheduled in Q&A mode to address several queries of structural engineers related to tensile fabric structures.

    It would be great if you can share your specific queries/doubts related to tensile fabric structures in advance which would help us to structure the flow of discussion.

Troubleshooting of the software was the most important topic as a single wrong interpretation of the warning can totally change the outcome. I heartily thanks Shri Bhavin bhai and SQVE consultants for introducing such wonderful courses so that we can perform good in practice.

    Er. Sachi Parekh

    I appreciate the course structure designed by Er. Bhavin Shah , which includes the theory and implementation of coddle provisions to software and interpretation of results. By attending it, I am able to learn and explore the analogy of a software – Staad Pro. Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge and make my doubts crystal clear…

    I must say that he is a true professional academician

    Session 51 : Unbonded Post -Tension Systems

    INTRODUCTION

    LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES

    We have received number of requests from engineers to arrange the session on Post-Tension (PT) systems. PT systems bring an advantage related to the reduction in sizes of structural elements, reduction in deflection, etc. However, at the same time there are number of precautions which are to be taken care while adoption of the PT systems.

    To start with, we are going to arrange a session on Unbonded PT system.

    Few of the questions received from engineers are mentioned below:

    1. Basics of Unbonded PT systems
    2. Interface required between PT vendor and structural engineers
    3. Earthquake resistant design using PT systems
    4. Scope of responsibility between PT vendor and structural engineers
    5. What to inspect at site for PT systems?

    I heard somewhere that we shall never use STAAD for dynamic analysis. But that wrong interpretation of the software was cleared through the course : STAAD-STR-001.

    Dr. Raksha Parolkar

    Topics covered in WIND-STR-002 were new for me to understand, as it has never been covered in syllabus. But the way Dr. Abhay Gupta sir taught, explained the problems and shared his experiences, the subject got easy to understand. I feel proud of being his student.

    REVA VENU V M

    I am a budding geotechnical engineering professional. For three years I have worked as faculty in NIT and recently joined as project fellow- geotechnical engineering in a research Institute. Now I am in the transition phase of my career ie, shifting from academics to industry. My desire to become a geotechnical engineering consultant inspired me to join this course. As I don’t have much industrial exposure, attending the course GEO-STR-001 helped me to gain a lot of practical knowledge related to geotechnical engineering. Especially the discussions related to soil investigation, interpretation of soil report and interactive sessions were really amazing. Queries of other participants and the discussions associated with it,were really informative, as it mainly focussed on current industrial practices. Thank you Vivek sir and Bhavin sir for giving this wonderful opportunity. Hoping for a better support in my future endeavours too. Also expecting further courses related to this, in the coming future.

    Srinivasa Reddy

    Dear Sir thank you so much for your Course ETABS-STR-001. We learn Lot from here. Happy to Join this Course we are waiting for next Upcoming Courses.

    The Course WIND-STR-002 was very effective. It changed my perspective on not only wind engineering but also seismic loading analysis. Dr.Gupta also referred some excellent books which would not have been possible otherwise. Last but not the least, Dr. Gupta was kind enough to give me the charges of highlighting the errata for the Explanatory Handbook on Wind Engineering.

    Dhirender Singh Bisht

    I am pursuing masters in structural engineering and steel was the topic that I found always challenging since my B.Tech times. Moreover this is also a missing topic for the syllabus of many universities in masters program. To understand its theory ,and execute it practically in software is really challenging and need a mentor for that. I’ve been following Bhavin sir from last few months and was it was my good decision to choose him as a guide. By the course STEEL-STR-001, now I can feel that I am in a position to explore boundaries of IS code, and also I’m enthusiastic to see how Euro code, AISC code and other countries code tackles the problem which sounds to be complicated in IS code.

    Ashish Sawant

    The course WIND-STR-001 is very informative. It clears basics of overall concept of wind flow. Thanks to Bhavin sir and Gupta sir for your guidance on wind loading.

    JAKEER HUSSAIN

    WIND-STR-002 : Explanation regarding wind action and building response due to wind, and the way of clarifications to participants questions by Dr. Abhay Gupta sir was excellent. Looking forward to attend relevant upcoming webinars/courses.

    Er. Sachi Parekh

    I appreciate the course structure designed by Er. Bhavin Shah , which includes the theory and implementation of coddle provisions to software and interpretation of results.

    I heard somewhere that we shall never use STAAD for dynamic analysis. But that wrong interpretation of the software was cleared through the course : STAAD-STR-001.

    Dr. Vinubhai Patel

    The course WIND-STR-002 was really very much informative and useful. Enjoyed a lot.

    Akash Solanki

    STEEL-STR-001 was the best package for understanding the limit state design of steel structures using IS800:2007 along with its application in STAAD.Pro. Tremendous wealth of knowledge from Bhavin sir combined with queries by other participants really facilitated a great learning experience. Thank you for such an amazing course. I hope more such courses are on the way.

    It gives a good awareness about software as well as corresponding codal provisions. So one can get technical knowledge as well as how software using clauses giving in codes. Teacher is very patient, soft spoken and knowledgeable person. Topics selected in the course STEEL-STR-001 are very relevant, useful and to the point for design and analysis of steel structure.

    Mainak Ghosal

    The Course WIND-STR-002 was very effective. It changed my perspective on not only wind engineering but also seismic loading analysis. Dr.Gupta also referred some excellent books which would not have been possible otherwise. Last but not the least, Dr. Gupta was kind enough to give me the charges of highlighting the errata for the Explanatory Handbook on Wind Engineering.

    The course GEO-STR-001 effectively addressed the gap between geotechnical and structural engineer. It not only covers important interface areas but also discusses consequences of poor interface. Subject experts have in depth knowledge and experience to address expectations of various participants ranging from fresh engineering graduate to highly experienced professionals. The course is interactive and experts are more than willing to address any queries of the participant. The course content is appropriately divided into multiple sessions over the weekend to allow flexibility to participants to participate and reflect during the week at their convenience. Overall, this course is highly recommended for structural and geotechnical engineers for gaining and enhancing the understanding of the very important interface between geotechnical and structural engineering work.

    The course WIND-STR-001 is very informative. It clears basics of overall concept of wind flow. Thanks to Bhavin sir and Gupta sir for your guidance on wind loading.

    REVA VENU V M

    I am a budding geotechnical engineering professional. For three years I have worked as faculty in NIT and recently joined as project fellow- geotechnical engineering in a research Institute. Now I am in the transition phase of my career ie, shifting from academics to industry. My desire to become a geotechnical engineering consultant inspired me to join this course. As I don’t have much industrial exposure, attending the course GEO-STR-001 helped me to gain a lot of practical knowledge related to geotechnical engineering. Especially the discussions related to soil investigation, interpretation of soil report and interactive sessions were really amazing. Queries of other participants and the discussions associated with it,were really informative, as it mainly focussed on current industrial practices. Thank you Vivek sir and Bhavin sir for giving this wonderful opportunity. Hoping for a better support in my future endeavours too. Also expecting further courses related to this, in the coming future.

    Akshay Thakur

    REC-STR-001: The recorded sessions are more than anything for tackling practical difficulties…. and you bring some other professionals like dr. Jain and dr. Gupta is just like awesome experience for the student like me who are from tier-3 college who won’t get such a precious information… thanks to you also for the knowledge you impart… best luck to you and your team for this your initiative to resolve practical difficulties among aspiring structural engineers… 🙏🏻 once again thank you so much… because nobody in today’s era from structural engineering domain is wants to share the information, but you do… kudos!

    Hemanth Ponnuri

    STEEL-STR-001 course is very informative and very well explained about the hidden insights in the IS800 code.

    Tanuja Singh

    STEEL-STR-001 : Excellent initiative to bring clarity of concepts to professionals.

    Ajay Narayan Jadhav

    The course WIND-STR-001 provided Excellent clarifications on IS875 clauses.

    Kunal Patil

    At first I never expected the sessions which are going to be conducted would be so knowledgeable. Day by day listening to Abhay sir touching every aspect from the codal point of view, few from his own experience. The mixture of everything made this course WIND-STR-002 very valuable and useful. Before this course I was trying to learn from everywhere how does this wind dynamic forces are to be calculated but through SQVE consultants arranging this webinar and learning under experience fraternity was worthwhile.

    Dhirender Singh Bisht

    I am pursuing masters in structural engineering and steel was the topic that I found always challenging since my B.Tech times. Moreover this is also a missing topic for the syllabus of many universities in masters program. To understand its theory ,and execute it practically in software is really challenging and need a mentor for that. I’ve been following Bhavin sir from last few months and was it was my good decision to choose him as a guide. By the course STEEL-STR-001, now I can feel that I am in a position to explore boundaries of IS code, and also I’m enthusiastic to see how Euro code, AISC code and other countries code tackles the problem which sounds to be complicated in IS code.

    Haridharan M K

    The online course EQ-STR-001 was very informative and it covered all the aspects of IS1893, IS16700, IS13920 and more important sharing the videos of the course which enabled to go through at any time.

    Kamlesh Mehta

    In the course WIND-STR-002, I was not able to attend few lectures due to internet connectivity problem. But I have gone through the video lectures provided by Mr. Bhavin shah and it is positive point that any time any where we can watch and update our knowledge.

    Ravichandra

    STEEL-STR-001 is very wonderful course. I have learned many things through this course. During session Bhavin sir interaction with the participants is very great with clear explanations. We are expecting these type of courses in future also.

    Rajen Dharia

    On attending to STEEL-STR-01 course with the multi discipline participates from across India is the best part of this course. As the questions raised and its solutions, are many a times very new for each other during the sessions which enhance our knowledge in different practical applications and approach towards it’s solution. I Recommend to join STEEL-STR-01 to all upcoming Structural Engineers.

    Tarnpreet Singh Gill

    The course content for STEEL-STR-001 has been thoroughly devised to be effective in best manner. Sharing of Recorded Sessions was the best part as I myself missed few end sessions due to office pressure but I could complete these later on. Making a permanent whatsapp group for discussion was also a good idea.

    Praveen Vasishth

    STEEL-STR-001 is very useful course for updating to new code for steel design of buildings.

    BHARATENDU PATEL

    This course related to STAAD.Pro and case studies was beyond the conventional software training. It helped me conceptualise the idea behind the behaviour of any structure, understand the special requirements between steel and concrete structures. Real life case study and interactive sessions made the learning more impactful.

    Shefali Thakkar

    STEEL-STR-001 was the best interactive course ,wherein all practical facts and limitations those are related with prevailing standards, software and practices were discussed. Vision was provided to participate towards solving such prevailing limitations rather following the same collaboratively. Course content was described very effectively and constant encouragement on experiments of the course deliverables and raising doubts and solving the same. Effective time management by faculty to satisfy all participants’ queries along with effective delivery of course content. 24 hour interaction facility was made available for solving course related queries.

    Harikrishnan

    Faculty engineering knowledge is excellent. These course STEEL-STR-001 is useful for fresher and experienced person.

    Dr. Raksha Parolkar

    Topics covered in WIND-STR-002 were new for me to understand, as it has never been covered in syllabus. But the way Dr. Abhay Gupta sir taught, explained the problems and shared his experiences, the subject got easy to understand. I feel proud of being his student.

    Prashanth N

    The course STEEL-STR-001 was well planned and the sessions were very interactive and informative.
