INTRODUCTION
Liquid retaining structures (LRS) are critical for storing or containing liquids such as water, wastewater, chemicals, etc. ensuring safe handling without leakage or structural failure. They are integral to various industries, including water supply, wastewater treatment, process plants, chemical industries, etc. These structures must maintain watertightness and structural integrity throughout their service life, often under demanding conditions.
Challenges in their design include limiting crack-width values to prevent leakage, especially under varying hydrostatic pressures and dynamic loads. Durability is one of the important area for design of LRS structures. Additionally, temperature effects, shrinkage, and differential settlement pose risks of cracking and instability. For earthquake resistant design, the design must account for earthquake-induced sloshing and base shear forces. Proper joint design and quality construction are critical to mitigate leakage risks. Therefore, meticulous design and detailing is required for LRS to ensure durability, safety, and long-term performance.
We received numerous requests for launching the specific online courses for design of liquid retaining structures. In line of the same, we are pleased to launch an online course “RCC-STR-002 – Design of liquid retaining RCC structures as per IS codes”.
The course will begin with detailed discussions on IS 3370 (Part 1):2021 & IS 3370 (Part 2):2021 along with crack width calculations. Thereafter, we will perform analysis of individual plates, rectangular tanks and circular tanks using design tables of IS 3370 (Part 4/1/2/3):2021. For the similar geometries, we will generate computer model in STAAD Pro using plate elements. The analysis results from the software will be compared with the design table results. In the process, we will highlight do’s and don’ts related to software applications for FEM. Subsequently, we will discuss in detail regarding seismic loads as per IS 1893 (Part 2):2014 along with amendment of 2022. Manual calculations will be performed to get more insight about seismic loads for LRS. Towards end of the course, we will take up couple of case studies for analysis and design of liquid retaining structures. We will also explore usage of STAAD Pro + RCDC and compare the results with the manual calculations. The entire course will be useful for preparation of in-house work procedure, check list, do’s and don’ts for liquid retaining structures.
The course will commence from 19-DEC-24. To ensure effective learning and hands-on experience, participants will be engaged in assignment designed to be completed step-by-step as the program progresses. There will be joint online discussions of the documents prepared by the participants as well as specific doubts or queries raised by the participants for each step will be addressed before moving to the next step. The program is designed to encourage maximum interaction with the participants to enable effective knowledge transfer.
For details of each session, please download brochure of the course.

Feedback of the few participants from the previous online courses:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
