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.
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.
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.
Shreyas Barad
STEEL-STR-001 is much awaited course. Finally the industry expert teaching the right thing with right methodology. I had never seen such an excellent online course like this. The amount of knowledge and engagement was extremely good. Thank you so much for the wonderful course.

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

Dhirender Singh Bisht
I am pursuing masters in structural engineering and steel was the topic that I found always challenging since my B.Tech times. Moreover this is also a missing topic for the syllabus of many universities in masters program. To understand its theory ,and execute it practically in software is really challenging and need a mentor for that. I’ve been following Bhavin sir from last few months and was it was my good decision to choose him as a guide. By the course STEEL-STR-001, now I can feel that I am in a position to explore boundaries of IS code, and also I’m enthusiastic to see how Euro code, AISC code and other countries code tackles the problem which sounds to be complicated in IS code.
Haridharan M K
The online course EQ-STR-001 was very informative and it covered all the aspects of IS1893, IS16700, IS13920 and more important sharing the videos of the course which enabled to go through at any time.
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.

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.

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.
Today, I would like to share an inspiring story of Shree Praveen Vasishth (BSc Civil Engineering, Msc Structural Engineering from Delhi college of Engineering). He is 70+ years old. He served Central Electricity Authority (CEA) at various positions, starting from design assistant to Director T.C.D. for overall span of ~34 years. During his tenure, he was involved in the civil & structural design of thermal power plants across the country. Unfortunately, he got permanent disability before ~3 years.
The physical limitations, substantial reduction in hearing capacity, older age etc. have not at all affected his desire of learning further. He attended our FOUR online courses (STAAD-STR-001, EQ-STR-001, STEEL-STR-001, ETABS-STR-002) in the last year.
I must say that he is one of the most punctual participant and having the highest attendance in all the four courses!
He is truly an inspiration for all of us that there is no age for learning and no physical limitations can restrict you if there is a strong desire for learning!!
We are going to schedule the courses based on demand of engineers. You may fill up the Pre-Registration form wherein you can select the number of courses as per your interest as well as you can suggest the new courses at following link. Your valuable feedback will immensely help us to prioritize the courses.
There is always debate and discussion related to acceptable settlement in the structure. The settlement may be short term settlement or long-term settlement. Also, there may be uniform settlement vs differential settlement. Following are few of the approaches prevailing in practice, :
1) Permissible value of the settlement may be defined based on the tender specifications. Based on the settlement value, allowable bearing pressure will be determined by geotechnical consultant.
2) Permissible value of the settlement may be defined based on IS codes related to geotechnical engineering. Based on the settlement value, allowable bearing pressure will be determined.
3) Acceptable settlement value may be defined by structural engineer considering the functional requirements, stability of the structures, additional stresses in the structures, limit to prevent failure of non-structural elements like piping, utilities, etc. Based on the settlement value, geotechnical engineer will derive the allowable bearing pressure.
Generally, differential settlement component is not mentioned in the geotechnical investigation report as the geotechnical consultant may not be aware about the differential loading on the different foundation as well as variation of pressure across each footing (due to presence of overturning moment). We believe that close interface is required between geotechnical and structural engineer to derive the probable component of the differential settlement.
One more important area would be to consider installing of instruments for monitoring the settlement value during life of the structure.
In view of the above, next live technical discussion is arranged on this important topic wherein we will attempt to answer your specific queries/doubts related to the acceptable values for settlement in the structures.

Are you looking for the free mock interview related to structural engineering?…then following post may be of interest to you.
We are receiving many questions from the students as well as from senior engineers regarding the interviewas follows:
How to write a resume so that chances of shortlisting of my resume increases?
How to prepare for the interview?
What may be the general questions in the interview?
What exactly interviewers are looking for?
How to respond if I do not know the answers during the interview?
How should I negotiate for the salary?
It is utmost important to perform at the fullest potential during the interview to justify the candidature for the job. Recently, we received an interesting request from couple of institutes as well as from few engineers to arrange for the mock interview.
In view of the same, SQVe Consultatns has taken one more initiative to arrange free mock interviews for structural engineers (for any position). The overall idea is to make the students and the engineers ready for the upcoming interviews.
The mock interviews will be conducted by Bhavin Shah (Founder & CEO, SQVe Consultants). He has taken plenty of interviews for different positions in the organizations for more than a decade of time. We will also add the other branches of engineering gradually in the initiative.

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.
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.

This article is referred to the industrial structures (main plant building) for different industries like manufacturing, automobile, plastic, food, glass, ceramic, etc. which are executed with the concept of Pre Engineered Building (PEB).
For design of PEB structures, generally, the owner / client is appointing a structural consultant for preparation of the tender. The tender is published in the market for inviting bids from different PEB vendors. Based on the techno-commercial evaluation, the optimum bid is selected and the project is awarded to the relevant PEB vendor. The overall purpose of tender is to bring all the bidders at a par and to ensure implementation of the important parameters in design, fabrication, erection, etc.
In view of the above, tender for PEB structure is an extremely important step in the project cycle. I have experienced that tender from consultant to consultant vary in terms of inclusion of different parameters.
Following are few of the important parameters which may be included in the PEB tenders:
General arrangement drawing of the structure
Overall structural system
Design codes and standards
Yield stress of the material
Durability aspects
Basic wind speed
Permeability of the building for calculation of cpe & cpi
Earthquake zone
Clarity on section 12 of IS 800:2007
Live load on the mezzanine floor
Support condition to be considered at junction of steel structure & RCC pedestal
Slenderness ratio of bracings
Deflection criteria
Crane loading
Interface between crane manufacture and PEB vendor
Fire resistance as per requirement
Provisions for design of anchor bolt
Standard details
Tolerance on fabrication
