INTRODUCTION
For design of steel structures, IS 800:2007 was published before ~14 years but still there are many practical difficulties related to implementation of the IS code. It is not a conventional revision of the code as there is complete change in design philosophy from working stress design method to limit state design method. There are practical difficulties since commentary on the code along with practical examples are not available. Also, there are certain gaps between the latest IS code and the current popular software.
In view of the above, we launched earlier online course STEEL-STR-001 & STEEL-STR-002. After grand success of the same, we are glad to launch the comprehensive online course STEEL-STR-004 for design of steel structures.
The course is designed based on the practical difficulties which are being faced in the industry for design of steel structures.
The course will cover discussion on important clauses of the code as well as application of same in the software STAAD.Pro & RAM connection. The course will cover the important areas such as possibilities of cost optimisation, second order elastic analysis, plastic analysis, elastic buckling load factor, moment amplification factors, effective length calculations, different limit states, block shear, lateral torsional buckling, earthquake resistant design, wind load and seismic load application in the software, MBMA vs IS codes, design parameters in the software, design of taper members, design of gantry girder, design of shear connections, design of moment connections, bolted & welded connections, connection design using RAM connection software, validation of the software, highlighting gap areas between IS codes & software…and many more!!
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS COURSE?
The course is designed by the experienced engineer (Mr. Bhavin Shah) who have 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.

- 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. The participants can share the doubts/queries in the WhatsApp group, after going through the recording which will be addressed in the next session.
- The important clauses of the IS code will be discussed along with the software STAAD.Pro and RAM connection.
- Recording will be available with all the participants for 180 days.
- Certificate will be issued on successful completion of the online course (minimum 80% attendance is required.).

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