We are honored to have presence of Er. U. H. Varyani in the next live technical discussion. He will talk about his experience related to design of various structures during his professional career of 45 years.
Starting from a humble background, he graduated in civil engineering in 1958 from the Indian Institute of Technology (llT), Kharagpur and worked in India and abroad with many reputed firms of architects and government departments. He spent over a year in Germany and ten years in Libya. He has written four books and forty papers. He has designed about 2000 buildings, big and small, with the help of his design staff. Along with design of structures, writing on structural engineering has been his passion. Many young engineers have worked with him during his professional career.
In the next live technical discussion, he will share his insight and experience related to various structures design.
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.

Modulus of subgrade reaction is very important parameter for design of foundations. Following are some of the approaches which are being followed in the practice:
1) Approach 1 : Modulus of subgrade reaction is mentioned in the soil report.
2) Approach 2 : Modulus of subgrade reaction is not mentioned in the soil report and the value is derived in consultation with geotechnical engineer.
3) Approach 3 : Modulus of subgrade reaction is determined by the structural engineer based on the approximate formula.
It is preferred to follow the approach no. 1 & 2 since there are number of uncertainties involved while deriving the value of Modulus of subgrade reaction and geotechnical engineer is in a better position to suggest the same based on their engineering judgement.
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 modulus of subgrade reaction.

Structural Engineers, Civil Engineers, Owners and other construction professionals are concerned about the life of a structure. All the stakeholders desire a long life for the structure. Also, there is a lot of curiosity amongst the professionals in the wake of monuments being designed for up to 1000 years.
It is difficult and challenging to predict life of a concrete structure as there are multiple factors affecting the same like structural system, design parameters, concrete mix design, type of reinforcement, quality assurance during execution, protection against corrosion, earthquake resistant design, regular maintenance of the structures – to name a few.
In view of the above, the forthcoming online technical deliberation is on design life of RCC structures. The discussion therefore would be focused on the following important areas:
Quality control and assurance in lab and at site.
Construction Chemicals in concrete mix , grouting, coatings for reinforcement
Choices of Reinforcement Steel from durability criterion including coating, surface treatment, alloys, corrosion resistance
Deterioration of concrete considering cement chemistry & concrete and concreting practices
Predictions of earthquake forces and reform in material science considering ductility

Upcoming ONLINE Course : As per request from engineers, we have launched an online course related to ETABS software which will commence from 23-NOV-21. Click here for more details.
The concept of stiffness modifiers was introduced for the first time in IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016. The clause no. 6.4.3.1 of the code defines requirements for structural analysis. It is mentioned in the clause that for structural analysis, we should consider reduced moment of inertial for RCC structures. For columns, 70 percent of Igross should be considered and for beams, 35 percent of Igross to be considered. Thereafter, stiffness modifiers were defined in IS 16700 as well. There are certain practical difficulties as it is a relatively new concept for the Indian Standards.
We arranged couple of live technical discussions earlier on the subject. However, still we are receiving queries from the engineers as well as there are few requests for arranging the live discussion on the stiffness modifiers.
In view of the above, next live technical discussion is planned on 25-SEP-21 (Saturday) at 7:00 PM.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.

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.

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

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.
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.
BHARATENDU PATEL
