INTRODUCTION
Earthquake resistant design is becoming increasingly complex as we are gradually aligning to the global design practices. It is required to perform different types of analysis for seismic design such as response spectrum analysis, p-delta analysis, nonlinear static analysis (pushover analysis), nonlinear dynamic analysis, etc. It is imperative to understand the overall methodology, limitations as well as software applications for each type of analysis. Because, if type of analysis considered is not appropriate or if the software application is not right then the intended purpose of earthquake resistant design won’t be achieved. Following are few of the clauses wherein advanced analysis are required as per IS codes.
IS 800:2007 mentions that the structure should be able to withstand inelastic displacement corresponding to joint rotation of 0.04 rad for Special Concentrically Braced Frames and for Special Moment Frame. As per IS 1893 (Part 4):2015, nonlinear time history analysis is required to verify the collapse mechanism as well as P-delta analysis is mandatory for all industrial structures. Nonlinear static analysis and nonlinear dynamic analysis are required as per IS 16700:2023.
In view of the above, we are glad to launch a unique online course EQ-STR-004: “Different types of analysis” which will exclusively focus on the advanced structural analysis along with the software applications in ETABS. Following types of analysis which will be considered in the course:
- Response spectrum analysis
- P-Delta analysis
- Nonlinear static analysis (pushover analysis)
- Linear time history analysis
- Nonlinear time history analysis
For earthquake resistant design, it is utmost important to understand the basics of structural dynamics. Therefore, in the course, we will start with fundamentals of structural dynamics wherein we will understand single degree of freedom, mode shapes, natural frequency, time period, acceleration, damping, resonance, etc. along with study models in ETABS. Thereafter, we will consider detailed discussion on each type of analysis wherein we will discuss software application along with the fundamentals. We will experiment different types of analysis on study models of single storey as well as for G+30 building. Results obtained from different types of analysis for the similar buildings will be compared. The participants will be encouraged to apply the same concepts whether on study models or on real projects and share their findings or queries during the course. The entire course is designed as a process of learning together.
The entire course will be extremely useful for preparation of in-house check-list, working procedure, Do’s and Don’ts, etc. for different types of analysis for buildings.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS COURSE?
The course is designed by the experienced engineer (Mr. Bhavin Shah) who has more than two 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 course is designed to have an interactive mode so that the problems / doubts of the participants can be addressed effectively.
- A WhatsApp group will be created for quick communication between the participants and the faculty. The participants will be able to share the discussion points, doubts, queries, etc. in the group. The details in the group will be collated for further discussion in the next session.
- All the sessions will be recorded and recording of each session will be shared within few hours. If someone miss out the live session then he/she can go through the recording before attending the next session. After going through the recording, the participants can share their doubts/queries in the WhatsApp group, which will be addressed in the next session.
- Recording will be available with all the participants for 180 days.
- Certificate for participation will be issued on successful completion of the online course (minimum 80% of attendance is required).
- We will create a focused group of engineers after the course who would like to contribute further for the design of machine foundations.
- The course is designed as a process of learning together.

Feedback of the few participants from the previous online courses:
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.
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.
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.
Praveen Vasishth
STEEL-STR-001 is very useful course for updating to new code for steel design of buildings.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
