INTRODUCTION
We are receiving number of queries related to design of RCC structures based on IS 456:2000 and IS 13920:2016 with a specific focus on the software applications. Few of the queries are listed below:
- How to perform response spectrum analysis in software and how to resolve the problem of lost signs?
- P-Delta is required to be performed for which kind of structures?
- What is the difference between P-small delta and P-large delta analysis?
- In ETABS, whether we should use membrane or shell element?
- What is the difference between rigid diaphragm and semi-rigid diaphragm in ETABS and what are the relevant applications of the same?
- What is the significance of stability index in design of columns and how it is calculated in the software?
- What impact will be made in the structural analysis with and without stiffness modifiers?
- Whether stiffness modifier values for ultimate and serviceability condition will be same or may be different?
- Why there are differences in the design results obtained from RCDC and ETABS?
- How to check and validate the strong column and weak beam design performed in RCDC and ETABS?
- After performing P-Delta analysis, is it required to consider an additional moment for column design as per IS 456?
- What should be values of torsional modifiers in ETABS?
- What is the good practice for labelling of pier and spandrel labels in ETABS?
- How to apply temperature forces in STAAD.Pro & ETABS? What precautions to be taken care in both the software?
- We are getting different results in the different software for similar problem. Which software is correct? How to authenticate the software?
- and…many more
In view of the above, we are glad to launch a unique online course (RCC-STR-001) which addresses few of the practical difficulties being faced by the engineers. In the course, we will discuss the required concepts and fundamentals along with the software STAAD.Pro, RCDC and ETABS. We will generate various study models for quick comparison of the results from different software. The results will be compared and the important findings will be discussed in detail. The same will be extremely useful for preparation of in-house check-list, working procedure, Do’s and Don’ts, etc.
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 for design of RCC structures.
- The course is designed as a process of learning together.

Feedback of the few participants from the previous batch:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tanuja Singh
STEEL-STR-001 : Excellent initiative to bring clarity of concepts to professionals.
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.
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.
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.
Praveen Vasishth
STEEL-STR-001 is very useful course for updating to new code for steel design of buildings.
