INTRODUCTION
Pre-engineered steel building (PEB) offers cost optimisation over the conventional sizes of the structural members (non-tapered). However, as the structure becomes relatively slender, more precautions are to be taken in analysis and design of the structure for ensuring stability. For the stability of slender steel structures as well as for the optimisation, it is extremely important to understand the fundamentals of flexure buckling, lateral torsional buckling, interaction between different structural elements for transfer of load, etc.
In view of the above, we have designed a unique online course for design of PEB structure for warehouse, titled as STEEL-STR-007 – Design of PEB steel structures as per IS 800:2007| Warehouse | STAAD Pro | RAM connection | RCDC. In the present course, only warehouse is considered so that we can have more focused discussions related to fundamentals for design of the steel structure, as mentioned above. In the upcoming online courses, other functional requirements, such as heavy crane, mezzanine floor, etc. will be considered. The course will commence from 28-MAR-24.
We will start the course with basic understanding of structural behaviour and stability concepts for shed type of structure. Following shows highlights of the course:
- The important limit states such as flexure buckling, lateral torsional buckling, local buckling, etc. will be explained through finite element modelling of the individual members.
- Interaction between different structural elements such as column, rafter, purlin, sag rod, girts, sheeting, flange bracing, etc. will be explained in detail.
- Case study of two warehouse structures (with and without central column), covering the following steps:
- Preparing structural system, geometry generation, wind and seismic load calculations, load applications in the software, load combinations, performing analysis of structure, defining design parameters for different structural elements, design of typical members, connection design of the structure using RAM connection software, foundation design using RCDC software, etc.
- Design of the structures will be performed using IS 800 : 2007. Wind load calculations as per IS 875 (Part 3) : 2015 and seismic load calculations as per IS 1893 (Part 1):2016 & NBC 2016
- Analysis and design will be performed using software STAAD Pro, RAM connection and RCDC.
- Manual calculations will be performed for checking the different capacity calculations for taper member with slender web, etc.
(For more details, please refer the detailed schedule, mentioned towards end of the document.)
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.

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