From Calculations to Creativity: Discovering Intuition in Structural Analysis | Session 86

INTRODUCTION

SQVE STRUCTURAL SUMMIT

What sets great engineers apart? It’s not just their ability to crunch numbers—it’s their intuition.

This intuition enables engineers to predict how structures will perform under various loads and conditions, ensuring safety, efficiency, and robustness.

In this interesting talk, we will invite Dr Jawed Qureshi, Senior Lecturer at University of East London.

In this talk, he will take things back to the basics, but in the best way possible. He will explore why understanding why a structure behaves the way it does—not just how to solve for forces and moments—can completely change the way you approach structural analysis and design.

It’s about building a mental model of structural performance. This is vital in a world where reliance on software can sometimes overshadow understanding. Without this core intuition, an engineer is at risk of producing designs that may work mathematically but fail practically.

Structural behaviour isn’t just for specialists—it’s a mindset every engineer should embrace.

Feedback of few participants for previous online courses”

Chokshi Hem

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.

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. Bhavin Sir’s explanation on Lateral Torsional Buckling and other critical areas, really helped me to become sound in manual calculations. Keep continuing the good work!

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.

Parth Gandha

The course STAAD-STR-001 was really amazing an knowledgeable. As I fresher I gained so much knowledge about all the little things I didn’t know that were so much important. 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.

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.

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.

Mr. AJAY NARAYAN JADHAV

JUST TO APPRECIATE THE WORKSHOP STAAD-STR-001, IT HAS BEEN VERY USEFUL FOR ME.

After attending online course STAAD-STR-001, I m very happy to share that….now I understand the result which I get after analysis……and how to use or understand the STAAD editor. Thank u so much for that…!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hiren Desai

The course WIND-STR-002 is very much informative as well as useful for practicing engineers considering the non availability of easy to detailed literatures and practical examples.

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.

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.

M. K. Haridharan

In the course ETABS-STR-001, all the session are very interactive, it has a touch with theory, hands on training and practical aspects. The knowledge of the mentor is extraordinary in all aspects.

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.

Praveen Upadhyay

Bhavin Shah is a fantastic trainer, very friendly and encouraging, it was a well-delivered and presented course (STAAD-STR-001) that was well received by the group. There was a great balance between theory and practice and the concepts were clearly and professionally explained.

Session 82: Maritime structures | Career opportunities for structural engineers

INTRODUCTION

SQVE STRUCTURAL SUMMIT

Structural design in the maritime sector presents distinct challenges compared to onshore projects. Maritime structures must withstand harsh environmental conditions like high winds, tidal ranges, strong currents, waves, and saltwater corrosion, all of which can compromise their integrity over time. These structures face dynamic loads from waves and wind, leading to fatigue and requiring robust design solutions. Constant exposure to saltwater accelerates material degradation, making advanced corrosion protection critical for long-term durability.

Designing for maritime environments demands specialized skills, including expertise in hydrodynamics, corrosion prevention, and dynamic load analysis. Engineers must be proficient in selecting marine construction materials and developing low-maintenance designs due to the difficulty of accessing these structures for repairs. However, there is a shortage of engineers with these competencies, as few institutions in India offer formal training in maritime structural design. This skills gap can lead to project delays, higher costs, and safety concerns, highlighting the urgent need for targeted education and training programs.

Key Discussion Points for the Upcoming Session:

  • What are the structures included in maritime sector?
  • What skills do young engineers need to develop to succeed in maritime structural design?
  • Are there specific software or tools that engineers must be proficient in to work in maritime design?
  • How does the maritime sector differ from onshore structural design in terms of the professional expertise required?
  • What is the demand for maritime structural engineers, both in India and globally?
  • What career pathways or specializations are available within maritime structural design?
  • What are some common misconceptions about maritime structural design?
  • How does one transition from a conventional structural engineering background into the maritime sector?
  • Discuss some of the most exciting projects in maritime structural design that could inspire young engineers.
  • What opportunities exist for engineers in India to receive training in maritime structural design?, etc.

This discussion will highlight career opportunities and essential skills for excelling in this specialized field.

You may share specific queries or doubts related to maritime sector which you would like to get it addressed in the session. We will attempt to include the same in the discussion.

Session 84: Wind Tunnel Testing for TALL Buildings

INTRODUCTION

SQVE STRUCTURAL SUMMIT

Importance of Wind Tunnel Testing for Tall Buildings

Wind tunnel testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the structural integrity and safety of tall buildings, which are highly susceptible to wind loads due to their height and slenderness. As buildings grow taller, traditional static wind load calculations may not be sufficient to capture the complex aerodynamic forces acting on the structure. Wind tunnel testing helps simulate real-world wind conditions, providing critical data on wind pressure distribution, vortex shedding, and potential aeroelastic effects like dynamic response and acceleration, which can significantly impact occupant comfort and structural safety. Accurate wind load data from these tests allows for optimized design solutions, ensuring safety without over-conservative designs that increase costs.

Key Discussion Points for the Upcoming Session:

  1. Preparation of Terms of Reference (TOR) for Wind Tunnel Testing Agency
    • Defining the scope of testing and performance criteria.
    • Incorporating specific building design requirements (shape, height, terrain).
    • Outlining necessary parameters such as wind speed, pressure coefficients, and dynamic response.
  2. Selection of Wind Tunnel Testing Agency
    • Criteria for choosing a credible and experienced testing agency.
    • Agency accreditation and past project experience.
    • Ensuring proper equipment and methodologies suitable for the scale and location of the building.
  3. Coordination with Wind Tunnel Testing Agency
    • Establishing effective communication channels and timelines.
    • Sharing detailed design models and ensuring proper representation of the project in wind simulations.
    • Addressing iterative processes and revisions based on intermediate results.
  4. Interpretation of Wind Tunnel Test Results
    • Understanding critical outputs such as wind pressure distribution, base shear, and torsional moments.
    • Collaboration between consultants and the testing agency to analyze the results and make necessary adjustments to the structural design.
    • Using test data for comfort assessments, façade design, and aerodynamic modifications to the building.
  5. Application of Results in Structural and Serviceability Design
    • Utilizing wind tunnel data for structural load determination and comparison with code-based values.
    • Analyzing serviceability aspects such as building sway, acceleration limits for occupant comfort, and façade cladding performance.
  6. Challenges and Lessons from Real-World Wind Tunnel Testing Projects
    • Common challenges faced during wind tunnel testing and how they were resolved.
    • Practical advice for ensuring accurate test conditions and avoiding potential pitfalls.

This structured discussion should help structural consultants navigate the technical and procedural challenges associated with wind tunnel testing for tall buildings.

You may share specific queries or doubts related to wind tunnel testing for tall buildings which you would like to get it addressed in the session. We will attempt to include the same in the discussion.

IS 2974 | Part 1 to 4 | Draft documents | Session 81

INTRODUCTION

SQVE STRUCTURAL SUMMIT

BIS has circulated draft documents of IS 2974 (Part 1 to 4) for design of machine foundations. With the rapid industrial expansion, the installation and efficient operation of heavy machinery have gained critical importance. Machine foundations are designed considering the dynamic characteristics of the machinery, as specified by the manufacturer, along with the dynamic properties of the foundation and the underlying soil or pile system. It is widely recognized that these dynamic properties of the soil or pile system play a key role in ensuring the desired performance of the foundation system.

Advancements in manufacturing technology have led to machines with higher ratings and tighter operational tolerances, making reliability critical and leaving no room for failure. To ensure optimal performance and minimize downtime, machine foundations must be designed with special attention to both their own dynamics and the need to reduce vibrations impacting nearby structures. Detailed vibration analysis is essential for understanding the dynamic behavior of the machine-foundation system. Field data on machine failures suggest that current design practices must be updated to address evolving dynamic requirements and improve foundation performance.

To cater to these objectives, it was decided to overall revise and restructure various Parts of IS 2974 to meet the current demand of satisfactory performance of machines with no room for failures. While restructuring various parts of the code, it was decided to address the parts of the code foundation-wise rather than machine-wise, except the part covering foundations for impact and impulsive load machines, that is, hammers and presses, where the foundation has to be necessarily machine-wise.

Part 1 General provisions
Part 2 Block foundations
Part 3 Frame foundations
Part 4 Foundations for hammers and presses

To discuss these important documents, live discussion is organised on 14-SEP-24 at 8:30pm IST. The session will be conducted by Bhavin Shah (Founder & CEO, SQVe Consultants)

Overall aim of session is to increase awareness about IS codes and to encourage engineers for sharing their valuable comments to BIS for improvement in our national standards.

Feedback of few participants for previous online courses”

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.

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.

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.

Ajay Narayan Jadhav

WIND-STR-002 : Excellent sessions. Thanks a lot to team SQVe and the eminent speaker for giving a valuable knowledge.

Dipal Trivedi

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.

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.

Foundation failures Geotechnical Engineering Structural Engineering structural failure

Session 77: Foundation Failures

INTRODUCTION

SQVE STRUCTURAL SUMMIT

RC foundations are the most important elements in any type of structure, as they transfer all the loads that come on the superstructure to the ground below. RC foundations are designed such that the safe bearing capacity of the soil at the site is not exceeded, to have adequate safety against sliding, overturning or pull-out and to keep the total and the differential settlements within allowable limits. Foundation failures are difficult to rectify and may endanger the entire building. In addition, as foundations will be buried inside the ground, it is difficult to monitor or repair them.

Failure of foundations may occur due to poor soil conditions, improper
drainage, changes in the water table, tree roots, construction errors, weather conditions or expansive soils. If any foundation failure is noticed or suspected, it is important to have the foundation inspected by a qualified geotechnical engineer and remedial measures undertaken. Soil failures are classified as bearing capacity failures, bulging or swelling of soil, sliding, liquefaction and lateral spreading. Foundation engineers are urged to study such failures, in order to not repeat such mistakes in their own projects.

It’s essential for both geotechnical and structural engineers to maintain open communication and address any discrepancies or uncertainties in the geotechnical report promptly. Regular collaboration and a thorough review process can help identify and rectify potential mistakes before they impact the structural design and construction process.

In the session, Dr. Subramanian Narayanan will join with us and he will share few case studies related to the foundation failures. We will also discuss few of the relevant points received from the participants either through registration form or through live chat during the session.

Schedule

DATE : 30-MAR-24

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 72 – Review of Geotechnical Reports

INTRODUCTION

SQVE STRUCTURAL SUMMIT

Geotechnical reports are crucial for providing information about subsurface conditions, and inaccuracies or omissions can lead to significant issues during construction and beyond. Some common mistakes or incomplete information that may be found in geotechnical reports include:

  1. Incomplete Site Investigation:
    • Lack of sufficient soil borings or test pits to adequately characterize the subsurface conditions across the entire site.
    • Insufficient sampling depth, leading to limited understanding of the deeper soil layers.
  2. Limited Laboratory Testing:
    • Inadequate or insufficient laboratory testing of soil samples, such as missing essential tests like triaxial tests, consolidation tests, or specific tests for expansive soils.
  3. Incorrect Soil Classification:
    • Errors in soil classification, misidentifying soil types, or overlooking the presence of problematic soils like expansive clays.
  4. Inaccurate Bearing Capacity Estimates:
    • Incorrect estimation of bearing capacity, leading to potentially unsafe foundation design or unnecessary overdesign.
  5. Omission of Groundwater Information:
    • Failure to provide comprehensive information on groundwater conditions, including water table depth, variations, and potential impacts on construction.
  6. Lack of Seismic Data:
    • Incomplete seismic data, overlooking the seismic hazard analysis and recommendations for seismic design parameters.
  7. Incomplete Slope Stability Analysis:
    • Missing or inadequate analysis of slope stability, particularly in areas with significant slopes, which can lead to potential landslides.
  8. Omission of Foundation Design Parameters:
    • Failing to provide clear and detailed foundation design parameters for various foundation types, leading to uncertainty in structural design.
  9. Neglecting Construction Recommendations:
    • Lack of specific construction recommendations, such as proper excavation and backfill procedures, compaction requirements, and site-specific construction considerations.
  10. Overlooking Geotechnical Hazards:
    • Failure to identify and address potential geotechnical hazards, such as subsidence, soil erosion, or groundwater contamination.
  11. Insufficient Settlement Analysis:
    • Incomplete settlement analysis or overlooking the potential for differential settlement, leading to inadequate consideration in structural design.
  12. Missing Future Considerations:
    • Neglecting to address potential changes in site conditions over time or the impact of future developments in the vicinity.
  13. Inadequate Reporting Format:
    • Poorly organized or unclear presentation of information in the report, making it challenging for the structural engineer to extract the necessary data.
  14. Lack of Professional Sign-off:
    • Failure to include the signature and seal of a qualified and licensed geotechnical engineer, raising questions about the report’s credibility.

It’s essential for both geotechnical and structural engineers to maintain open communication and address any discrepancies or uncertainties in the geotechnical report promptly. Regular collaboration and a thorough review process can help identify and rectify potential mistakes before they impact the structural design and construction process.

In the session, Er. Sorabh Gupta will join with us. He will give brief presentation about ~15 minutes related to geotechnical investigation report and thereafter we will attempt to answer the question received through the registration form. Also, the discussion points received through live chat will be responded.

Dr. Vinubhai Patel

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

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.

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.

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.

SQVe is probably a single platform wherein couple of live discussions related to draft standard for “earthquake resistant design and detailing of steel buildings” were organised in month of June, 2022. The earlier recorded sessions are available at our YouTube channel. Recently, BIS has published the standard IS 18168:2023. Following shows few of the major changes in the document:

  • The document to be referred when there is conflict with section 12 of IS 800:2007
  • The general concepts adopted in this standard for buildings are applicable also for other types of structures; in particular, provisions of this standard may be taken as a guide for design of components of industrial structures and steel bridges.
  • Provisions of this standard are applicable for SMRF, SCBF and EBF
  • Material may be used up to E350 (B0 or C) as per IS 2062
  • Table-2 is added for section classification
  • Additional load combinations are mentioned
  • Slenderness ratio of beam is limited in the region of plastic hinge formation
  •  The slenderness ratio of unbraced length of columns shall be less than 75.
  • Criteria defined for the bracing size
  • Requirement for column-beam strength ratio is identified.
  • Criteria defined for design of fixed column base and pinned column base
  • Design methodology included for shear link of EBF frame, etc.

In summary, there are significant changes as compared to the section 12 of IS 800:2007.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Bhavin Shah is a fantastic trainer, very friendly and encouraging, it was a well-delivered and presented course (STAAD-STR-001) that was well received by the group. There was a great balance between theory and practice and the concepts were clearly and professionally explained.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
