Session 98: Internal Curing

INTRODUCTION

Title: Sustainability & Structural Longevity: The Role of Internal Curing in Next Generation Concrete

1 cubic meter of concrete needs 3 cubic meters of water, most of which goes for the external water curing. This is an unsustainable practice in a county like India. Moreover, external curing supplies water only to the cover concrete, for about 30 to 50 mm. The cement particles deep down the concrete get only partially hydrated; leading to strength & durability problems.

Curing compounds applied to the surface have many limitations.
However, internal curing (self curing) advocates use of SAP powder or self curing polymers by mass of cement; or pre-wetted porous manufactured light weight aggregates as partial replacement of sand or coarse aggregates.

The session is organised as a part of SQVe Structural Summit. The session will cover:

  • Concept & mechanism of internal curing,
  • Its usefulness in mitigating chemical shrinkage,
  • Autogenous shrinkage,
  • Shrinkage cracks,
  • Self desiccation,
  • Role or polymers in holding sufficient moisture & reducing evaporation,
  • Few case studies from USA
  • Mix design proportions & detailed calculations to replace the aggregates volumetrically by LWAs, RCPT results it’s scope in India, etc.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Session 58: Retrofitting of existing structures in India

INTRODUCTION

LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES

It’s necessary, now more than ever post Turkey Earthquakes, to seriously review the existing building structures for ensuring satisfactory performance even in high intensity earthquakes in India.

How safe are the existing structures in India during seismic events??… is a question we are being asked everyday.

I must mention an important fact here, before embarking on any further discussion on the subject, that National Building Code has mandated a Technical Audit of all public buildings more than 15m high, every 3 to 5 years, and buildings found unsafe to be sealed and duly retrofitted before being permitted to be used. These Audits must cover Structural Safety Audit as well as a comprehensive review of electrical and Fire installations as well as conformance to the latest bye laws and the Structural Audit thus carried out will be based on the latest revision of Earthquake Codes, and will bridge the compliance gap with Codal guidelines. It will also ensure safety of lives and safety of precious infrastructure in a serious earthquake close to the region so critical for a fast developing Indian economy. We cannot depend on Government alone to accomplish this Herculean effort and all individual building owners must come forward to get Structural Audits and Strengthen their building structures to make them safe and Code Compliant.

All existing buildings need to be reviewed with latest version of BIS Codes, duly allowing for a suitable reduction in Base Shear as per BIS 15988 and strengthening must be carried out to bring it to a Code compliant level. Else, Delhi NCR may witness scenes similar to Turkey and Syria or worse. Special focus must be given to Hospitals, schools, critical communications and Transport infrastructure (Especially Elevated Metro stations, which are all basically stilted structures with extreme mass and stiffness irregularity)

Ms. Sangeeta Wij

In the upcoming live event, Ms. Sangeeta Wij will join us for the very important discussion.

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 or you may share your point of view, discussion points, etc. which may be addressed during the session.

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.

Rajen Dharia

On attending to STEEL-STR-01 course with the multi discipline participates from across India is the best part of this course.

I Recommend to join STEEL-STR-01 to all upcoming Structural Engineers.

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.

LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES

Current trends in Geotechnical engineering:

  • Geotechnical investigation practice is rapidly evolving from the classical era of Terzaghi, Horslev, Skempton and other masters of the twentieth century.
  • We are now constructing bigger structures on poorer strata
  • Developments and demands of the 21st century geotechnical practices have led to a greater emphasis on
    • in-situ tests
    • advanced testing tools
    • digital data acquisition
  • Increasingly complex nature of the problems encountered has presented challenges to the new generation of geotechnical engineers

Challenges of the 21st century:

  • Use of powerful finite element software has generated a demand for more reliable geotechnical input data
  • The thrust is on developing more realistic design parameters, encroach upon the factor of safety and enhance the factor of reliability
  • Aspects to be addressed include
    • Perform a variety of in-situ and laboratory tests so as to predict parameters from different tests and develop correlations between various parameters,
    • Enhance precision of the tests, quality of data acquisition and reliability of test data, and
    • Use local experience regarding the soil behavior to minimize uncertainties in the selection of design parameters

In the upcoming live technical discussion, Er. Sorabh Gupta – Director, Cengrs Geotechnica Pvt. Ltd. will join with us. He will share the insights on this extremely important subject.

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

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.

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.

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.

Rakesh Kumar

DYN-STR-001: Yes really good course . Bhavin Shah has really in-depth knowledge of machine foundation. His experts views are really helpful to understand this complicated subject . I already learned lot of things from his session

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.

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.

Session 42 : UHPC – An introduction – Material, Design and Application

INTRODUCTION

LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES

Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a cementitious composite material composed of an optimized gradation of granular constituents, with an ultra-low water-cement content, and a high percentage of discontinuous internal fiber reinforcement. UHPC is densely packed using micro and sometime nano size material ingredients, which imparts UHPC its two signature properties – ultra-high mechanical and ultra-high durability. The result is structural sections that are over 50 percent lighter than concrete sections, negligible reinforcement, and a service life that is devoid of any structural maintenance or repair.

The material finds applications ranging from bridge and building structural elements to protective overlays on bridge decks, industrial slabs, building facades, mechanical device bedding and foundations, interior panels, tiles, outdoor furniture, and blast resistant structures amongst others.

When we think GREEN and SUSTAINABILITY, UHPC stands out above and beyond its peers – both concrete and steel. UHPC has positioned itself strategically between  Concrete and Structural Steel and has the ability to not only be used independently but also a a composite with both these materials.

We are planning to have series of discussions on the important subject. In the initial talk, we will attempt to cover introduction of UHPC (Material, Design and Application).

In the upcoming live technical discussion, Dr. Satish Jain will join us for interesting discussion related to UHPC.

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.

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.

Dr. Vinubhai Patel

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Alok Rathore

After attending the course WIND-STR-001, I change my prospective towards structure and learn many concept.
