INTRODUCTION
Wind forces & pressures are important in the design of structures being frequently occurring phenomenon. The fundamental IS code related to wind forces (IS 875- Pt. 3) was revised in 2015 and two amendments have been so far issued. It generated few practical difficulties and there are few clauses of the code on which discussion is required. With an objective to resolve some of the practical difficulties, the online course WIND-STR-001 is launched.
The course will focus on wind force estimation for low rise structures as per IS 875 (Part 3):2015. The course will cover important aspects like wind characteristics, pressure coefficients, wind force estimation for shed type of structure, multi span structure, domed roof, hoardings, etc. The course will also cover wind tunnel testing requirements for estimation of wind forces for low rise structures.
What is unique about the course?
The course is designed by the experienced engineers (Er. Dr. Abhay Gupta & Mr. Bhavin Shah) who have together more than five 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 tutorial / exercise will be given to the participant during each session so that they get the hands-on experience for estimation of the wind force.
- 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.
