INTRODUCTION
The engineering profession is growing and the knowledge base increasing with each day, it is difficult to track all the developments by a unilateral approach. The implementation of current code of practices has multi-dimensional considerations which the practicing engineers may not be aware about. The software we are using is approving the pace with which the earthquake engineering has escalated. A global seismic design practice is not far away, and many developments are being planned. The revisions in IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016 & IS 13920 : 2016 generated few practical difficulties. Recently, the amendments have been issued for both the codes. For design of tall buildings, new code IS 16700 was published in 2017. For appropriate implementation of these codes, it is required to understand different clauses of the code as well as how to operate the same in the software. It is utmost important to know the functioning of the software. To address such practical difficulties and for discussion related to possible solutions, the online course EQ-STR-001 (Earthquake resistant design – From theory to practice) is launched.
The course will focus on earthquake resistant analysis and design as per IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016, IS 13920 : 2016 & IS 16700 : 2017. The course will cover discussion on important clauses of the code as well as application of same in the software. The course will cover the important areas like time period estimation, handling of different irregularities, vertical earthquake, ductile detailing, back stay analysis, stiffness modifiers, torsional mode, etc.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS COURSE?
The course will cover important aspects related to earthquake resistant design with focus on the difficulties faced by the practicing engineers in seismic analysis and design of structures. The course is framed in a manner to exercise with the problem and discuss the possible solutions. The course is designed by the experienced engineers who have together more than three decades of experience in the field of structural engineering.
- The entire course is designed from the practical aspects which can be readily used in the real projects. The discussions will be unique and implementable.
- The potential of ETABS software in earthquake resistant design and understanding of the important clauses of the IS codes will be carried out through practical sessions using the small study models.
- The study models will be specifically made by us to elaborate the problem and show the outcomes with and without implementation of the IS clauses.
- The tutorial and handouts will be given to the participant during each session so that they get the hands-on experience related to the subject.
- The course is designed to have an interactive mode so that the problems / doubts of the participants can be addressed.
- Certificate will be issued on successful completion of the online course (minimum 80% attendance is required).
- Recording will be shared with the all-registered participants for future reference.
