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.

Performance Based Design | Session 92

INTRODUCTION

SQVE STRUCTURAL SUMMIT | Session 92

In today’s complex built environment, Performance Based Design (PBD) is becoming the cornerstone of resilient, cost-effective, and reliable structural systems. Unlike traditional design methods which focus on compliance with prescriptive codes, PBD emphasizes:

  • Realistic assessment of structural performance under varying levels of demand
  • Customized performance objectives (e.g., Immediate Occupancy, Life Safety, Collapse Prevention)
  • Rational use of resources without overdesigning
  • Better communication with stakeholders through measurable performance outcomes
  • Safer and more adaptable infrastructure for future generations
Few Common Questions Engineers Have about PBD…
  • How is Performance-Based Design different from force-based design?
  • What are the key steps in implementing a performance-based seismic design?
  • What performance levels should be targeted for essential facilities like hospitals or bridges?
  • How do we model non-linear behavior of structures in commercial software?
  • What are the practical challenges in validating performance objectives?
  • Are there Indian codes or guidelines that support PBD, or do we rely on international practices?
  • Can PBD be applied effectively for retrofitting existing buildings?
  • How is peer review handled in performance-based projects?
  • What kind of documentation or simulations are expected in a PBD report?

Performance-Based Design: Shaping the Future of Structural Engineering

Have questions about Performance-Based Design (PBD)?
Now is your chance to ask one of India’s leading experts in Earthquake Engineering.

We’re inviting structural engineers, researchers, students, and professionals across the globe to submit their queries on Performance-Based Design (PBD), a modern approach that goes beyond code compliance to truly assess and enhance how structures behave under actual loads and hazards.

🎙️ Expert Session with Prof. (Dr.) Yogendra Singh

Former Head, Department of Earthquake Engineering, IIT Roorkee

Your questions will be directly addressed by Prof. (Dr.) Yogendra Singh, an expert in seismic design and performance-based methodologies.

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.

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.

IS 875 (Part 3):2015 | Session 90

INTRODUCTION

SQVE STRUCTURAL SUMMIT | SESSION 90

IS 875 (Part 3) : 2015, the Indian standard for wind loads on buildings and structures, is one of the very important document structural design practice. Whether you’re working on a low-rise industrial shed or a tall residential tower, this code plays a crucial role in estimating lateral loads and ensuring structural safety. With the document currently under revision, this is the ideal moment for the engineering community to come together and reflect on its application, effectiveness, and the challenges faced in real projects.

We are hosting an open brainstorming session that invites structural engineers, designers, consultants, and code users to share their doubts, practical difficulties, and grey areas they encounter while working with IS 875 (Part 3):2015. This is not a lecture — it’s a collective exchange of ideas. We encourage engineers to bring in queries related to wind speed zoning, interpretation of terrain categories, topography factors, pressure coefficients for different roof shapes, issues around the dynamic response of tall structures, cladding and façade design pressures, risk coefficient considerations, gust factor calculations, etc.

This session is meant to be a space to ask questions, share field experiences, and contribute ideas that may even influence how the revised code evolves. Whether you’re an experienced professional or a young engineer just stepping into structural design, your questions and insights are welcome.

You may share specific queries, doubts or discussion points related to IS 875 Part-32015 in advance through registration form.

Expert – Er. Dr. Abhay Gupta

Feedback of few participants for previous online courses”

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.

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.

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.

Rajashree

The course WIND-STR-001 facilitated discussion and understanding of concepts  in more detailed simplified manner under the experienced and knowledgeable professionals. Thank you Dr Abhay sir and Bhavin sir.

BHARATENDU PATEL

This course related to STAAD.Pro and case studies was beyond the conventional software training.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

JAKEER HUSSAIN

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.

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.

Tanuja Singh

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

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.

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.

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
Like a bridge between Institute and industry…

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Vinubhai Patel

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

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.

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.

Prashanth N

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

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.

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.

Rajashree

The course WIND-STR-001 facilitated discussion and understanding of concepts  in more detailed simplified manner under the experienced and knowledgeable professionals. Thank you Dr Abhay sir and Bhavin sir.

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!

Praveen Vasishth

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Anvitha Yadama

It has been an excellent course and given me an in-depth understanding on ETABS and STAAD.Pro software . I feel more confident in my understanding and it helped me complete my major project in my B. Tech course .Thank you for all the support and excellent teaching. During the training program all my queries were answered quickly.

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 👍

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.

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.

Ajay Narayan Jadhav

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

Tanuja Singh

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

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.
