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.

Ashish Sawant

The course WIND-STR-001 is very informative. It clears basics of overall concept of wind flow. Thanks to Bhavin sir and Gupta sir for your guidance on wind loading.

Dr. Vinubhai Patel

The course WIND-STR-002 was really very much informative and useful. Enjoyed a lot.

Chokshi Hem

I heard somewhere that we shall never use STAAD for dynamic analysis. But that wrong interpretation of the software was cleared through the course : STAAD-STR-001.

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.

Akshay Thakur

REC-STR-001: The recorded sessions are more than anything for tackling practical difficulties…. and you bring some other professionals like dr. Jain and dr. Gupta is just like awesome experience for the student like me who are from tier-3 college who won’t get such a precious information… thanks to you also for the knowledge you impart… best luck to you and your team for this your initiative to resolve practical difficulties among aspiring structural engineers… 🙏🏻 once again thank you so much… because nobody in today’s era from structural engineering domain is wants to share the information, but you do… kudos!

Alok Rathore

After attending the course WIND-STR-001, I change my prospective towards structure and learn many concept.

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.

BHARATENDU PATEL

This course related to STAAD.Pro and case studies was beyond the conventional software training. It helped me conceptualise the idea behind the behaviour of any structure, understand the special requirements between steel and concrete structures. Real life case study and interactive sessions made the learning more impactful.

Kamlesh Mehta

In the course WIND-STR-002, I was not able to attend few lectures due to internet connectivity problem. But I have gone through the video lectures provided by Mr. Bhavin shah and it is positive point that any time any where we can watch and update our knowledge.

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.

Dr. Raksha Parolkar

Topics covered in WIND-STR-002 were new for me to understand, as it has never been covered in syllabus. But the way Dr. Abhay Gupta sir taught, explained the problems and shared his experiences, the subject got easy to understand. I feel proud of being his student.

Ajay Narayan Jadhav

The course WIND-STR-001 provided Excellent clarifications on IS875 clauses.

Kunal Patil

At first I never expected the sessions which are going to be conducted would be so knowledgeable. Day by day listening to Abhay sir touching every aspect from the codal point of view, few from his own experience. The mixture of everything made this course WIND-STR-002 very valuable and useful. Before this course I was trying to learn from everywhere how does this wind dynamic forces are to be calculated but through SQVE consultants arranging this webinar and learning under experience fraternity was worthwhile.

Srinivasa Reddy

Dear Sir thank you so much for your Course ETABS-STR-001. We learn Lot from here. Happy to Join this Course we are waiting for next Upcoming Courses.

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.

REVA VENU V M

I am a budding geotechnical engineering professional. For three years I have worked as faculty in NIT and recently joined as project fellow- geotechnical engineering in a research Institute. Now I am in the transition phase of my career ie, shifting from academics to industry. My desire to become a geotechnical engineering consultant inspired me to join this course. As I don’t have much industrial exposure, attending the course GEO-STR-001 helped me to gain a lot of practical knowledge related to geotechnical engineering. Especially the discussions related to soil investigation, interpretation of soil report and interactive sessions were really amazing. Queries of other participants and the discussions associated with it,were really informative, as it mainly focussed on current industrial practices. Thank you Vivek sir and Bhavin sir for giving this wonderful opportunity. Hoping for a better support in my future endeavours too. Also expecting further courses related to this, in the coming future.

Dipal Trivedi

The course GEO-STR-001 effectively addressed the gap between geotechnical and structural engineer. It not only covers important interface areas but also discusses consequences of poor interface. Subject experts have in depth knowledge and experience to address expectations of various participants ranging from fresh engineering graduate to highly experienced professionals. The course is interactive and experts are more than willing to address any queries of the participant. The course content is appropriately divided into multiple sessions over the weekend to allow flexibility to participants to participate and reflect during the week at their convenience. Overall, this course is highly recommended for structural and geotechnical engineers for gaining and enhancing the understanding of the very important interface between geotechnical and structural engineering work.

Nitin Sharma

I would like to thanks and appreciate for this helpful course comprising of STAAD PRO Training and Design concepts for RCC and Steel. In this module I have learned in detail about essential concepts for designing industrial buildings and gained an understanding of different types of Analysis. I also acquired the knowledge of different types of Codes. Moreover, l was introduced with FEM, design of foundation, anchor bolts and connections. All the sessions were very interactive and engaging. The valuable knowledge that i have gained in these two months will certainly be propitious to start my career as a structural engineer.

Bhavin Shah is a fantastic trainer, very friendly and encouraging, it was a well-delivered and presented course (STAAD-STR-001) that was well received by the group. There was a great balance between theory and practice and the concepts were clearly and professionally explained.

BHARATENDU PATEL

This course related to STAAD.Pro and case studies was beyond the conventional software training. It helped me conceptualise the idea behind the behaviour of any structure, understand the special requirements between steel and concrete structures. Real life case study and interactive sessions made the learning more impactful.

Prashanth N

The course STEEL-STR-001 was well planned and the sessions were very interactive and informative.

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.

Ashish Sawant

The course WIND-STR-001 is very informative. It clears basics of overall concept of wind flow. Thanks to Bhavin sir and Gupta sir for your guidance on wind loading.

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!

Hemanth Ponnuri

STEEL-STR-001 course is very informative and very well explained about the hidden insights in the IS800 code.

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.

Parth Gandha

The course STAAD-STR-001 was really amazing an knowledgeable. As I fresher I gained so much knowledge about all the little things I didn’t know that were so much important. Troubleshooting of the software was the most important topic as a single wrong interpretation of the warning can totally change the outcome. I heartily thanks Shri Bhavin bhai and SQVE consultants for introducing such wonderful courses so that we can perform good in practice.

Ajay Narayan Jadhav

WIND-STR-002 : Excellent sessions. Thanks a lot to team SQVe and the eminent speaker for giving a valuable knowledge.

Dr. Vinubhai Patel

The course WIND-STR-002 was really very much informative and useful. Enjoyed a lot.

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.

Srinivasa Reddy

Dear Sir thank you so much for your Course ETABS-STR-001. We learn Lot from here. Happy to Join this Course we are waiting for next Upcoming Courses.

MANY THANKS TO THE SPEAKER AND ORGANISERS!!…..ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU FOR SHARING AN INSPIRING LEARNING EXPERIENCE 👍

Kunal Patil

At first I never expected the sessions which are going to be conducted would be so knowledgeable. Day by day listening to Abhay sir touching every aspect from the codal point of view, few from his own experience. The mixture of everything made this course WIND-STR-002 very valuable and useful. Before this course I was trying to learn from everywhere how does this wind dynamic forces are to be calculated but through SQVE consultants arranging this webinar and learning under experience fraternity was worthwhile.

JAKEER HUSSAIN

WIND-STR-002 : Explanation regarding wind action and building response due to wind, and the way of clarifications to participants questions by Dr. Abhay Gupta sir was excellent. Looking forward to attend relevant upcoming webinars/courses.

Nitin Sharma

I would like to thanks and appreciate for this helpful course comprising of STAAD PRO Training and Design concepts for RCC and Steel. In this module I have learned in detail about essential concepts for designing industrial buildings and gained an understanding of different types of Analysis. I also acquired the knowledge of different types of Codes. Moreover, l was introduced with FEM, design of foundation, anchor bolts and connections. All the sessions were very interactive and engaging. The valuable knowledge that i have gained in these two months will certainly be propitious to start my career as a structural engineer.

    REVA VENU V M

    I am a budding geotechnical engineering professional. For three years I have worked as faculty in NIT and recently joined as project fellow- geotechnical engineering in a research Institute. Now I am in the transition phase of my career ie, shifting from academics to industry. My desire to become a geotechnical engineering consultant inspired me to join this course. As I don’t have much industrial exposure, attending the course GEO-STR-001 helped me to gain a lot of practical knowledge related to geotechnical engineering. Especially the discussions related to soil investigation, interpretation of soil report and interactive sessions were really amazing. Queries of other participants and the discussions associated with it,were really informative, as it mainly focussed on current industrial practices. Thank you Vivek sir and Bhavin sir for giving this wonderful opportunity. Hoping for a better support in my future endeavours too. Also expecting further courses related to this, in the coming future.

    The Course WIND-STR-002 was very effective. It changed my perspective on not only wind engineering but also seismic loading analysis. Dr.Gupta also referred some excellent books which would not have been possible otherwise. Last but not the least, Dr. Gupta was kind enough to give me the charges of highlighting the errata for the Explanatory Handbook on Wind Engineering.

    Kunal Patil

    At first I never expected the sessions which are going to be conducted would be so knowledgeable.

    ZEESHAN MUNSHI

    After attending online course STAAD-STR-001, I m very happy to share that….now I understand the result which I get after analysis……and how to use or understand the STAAD editor. Thank u so much for that…!!

    Dipal Trivedi

    The course GEO-STR-001 effectively addressed the gap between geotechnical and structural engineer. It not only covers important interface areas but also discusses consequences of poor interface. Subject experts have in depth knowledge and experience to address expectations of various participants ranging from fresh engineering graduate to highly experienced professionals. The course is interactive and experts are more than willing to address any queries of the participant. The course content is appropriately divided into multiple sessions over the weekend to allow flexibility to participants to participate and reflect during the week at their convenience. Overall, this course is highly recommended for structural and geotechnical engineers for gaining and enhancing the understanding of the very important interface between geotechnical and structural engineering work.

    Session 56: Lessons learned from sequential EQs in Turkey

    INTRODUCTION

    LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES


    ◼ Sequential of EQs were happened. Magnitude 7.8 happened at 4 am, and Magnitude 7.5 happened at 1 pm (many 6.5 in between). Record from one station indicates that PGA of the first mainshock was around ~0.7g. The spectral acceleration exceeded 2g around 0.5-0.6 seconds. Additionally, the vertical acceleration was ~1.4g.

    ◼ Over 10,000 buildings were collapsed by the EQs. And many of the buildings were built before 2000. So, they were designed based on old Turkish Code. Collapses were mostly multi-story/mid-rise (5-20 stories). They were mainly concrete buildings.

    ◼ Collapses should be evaluated in two categories; are collapses before the second mainshock and collapses after the second mainshock (plus aftershocks).

    ◼ Collapses before the second mainshock: Collapsed buildings were designed based on reduced EQ loads (using response modification factor (R)) by relying on ductility; however, the collapses showed nonductile behavior (brittle). Please, check both ductile and brittle collapse on the graph below. Basic ductile design philosophy is “survive the main shock, and get out of the building safely”. However, the collapses indicate that design reinforcements were didn’t supplied as required by the code. Designers – authority of jurisdictions – constructors should be one mechanism to follow the code instructions.

    ◼ Collapses after the second mainshock: Many of the collapses were obtained after the second main shock (Magnitude 7.5). The first main shock and aftershocks softened/weakened/hinged buildings, and the second mainshock destroyed most of the softened buildings. This is because of P-delta (large deformation). Why? Because it causes negative tangent stiffness on the buildings, and when it exceeds the plastic stiffness (hinged stiffness), buildings are collapsed due to instability. And the other consideration is fracture due to low cycle fatigue. Ductile elements have a finite accumulative strain capacity.

    ◼ Important lessons: One of the important lessons is missing sequential shocks specification on every seismic code in the world. It might be great research to study performance-based design for sequential shocks! Other one is determining/reviewing/retrofitting old buildings. Old buildings should get engineering services based on new code provisions.

    In the upcoming live event, Dr. T. Deniz Uludag will join us for the very important discussion.

    Please note that the discussion will be based on initial analysis/thoughts. We may organise more numbers of sessions in the future as and when more detailed analysis is shared by the investigation teams.

    It would be great if you can share your specific queries/doubts related to Turkey EQs in advance which would help us to structure the flow of discussion.

    In the following registration form, you may share the specific doubts/questions related to the topic or you may share your point of view, discussion points, etc. which may be addressed during the session.

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.

    Parth Gandha

    The course STAAD-STR-001 was really amazing an knowledgeable. As I fresher I gained so much knowledge about all the little things I didn’t know that were so much important. Troubleshooting of the software was the most important topic as a single wrong interpretation of the warning can totally change the outcome. I heartily thanks Shri Bhavin bhai and SQVE consultants for introducing such wonderful courses so that we can perform good in practice.

    Ajay Narayan Jadhav

    The course WIND-STR-001 provided Excellent clarifications on IS875 clauses.

    I am a budding geotechnical engineering professional. For three years I have worked as faculty in NIT and recently joined as project fellow- geotechnical engineering in a research Institute. Now I am in the transition phase of my career ie, shifting from academics to industry. My desire to become a geotechnical engineering consultant inspired me to join this course. As I don’t have much industrial exposure, attending the course GEO-STR-001 helped me to gain a lot of practical knowledge related to geotechnical engineering. Especially the discussions related to soil investigation, interpretation of soil report and interactive sessions were really amazing. Queries of other participants and the discussions associated with it,were really informative, as it mainly focussed on current industrial practices. Thank you Vivek sir and Bhavin sir for giving this wonderful opportunity. Hoping for a better support in my future endeavours too. Also expecting further courses related to this, in the coming future.

    Session 34 : Critical Review of IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016 – Dr. Ashok K. Jain

    Introduction

    Centuries ago, a large number of astonishing structures such as Kutub Minar, Taj Mahal and so many incredible palaces and temples were built in stone masonry in various parts of the country. Some of these temples have very tall shikhars with amazing carvings. They have so many delicate columns and non-structural elements. They are standing even today without any damage due to past earthquakes. However, is it possible to build similar stone masonry structures today? NO. IS 1893 (Part 1) will not let you. It has banned such structures explicitly in seismic zone III, IV and V.

    The question arises who is wrong? Our ancestors or the modern day IS 1893 (Part 1) code? (Extract from paper of Dr. Ashok K. Jain)

    The original paper was presented by Dr. Ashok K. Jain in the meeting of IAStructE on 11th May, 2017. Since then, a number of practicing engineers have made requests to discuss the various issues in more detail. In 2020, BIS has issued amendment no. 2 which is quite exhaustive. Recently, he has modified the document based on request of the practicing engineers.

    In the upcoming live technical discussion, Dr. Ashok K. Jain will share his critical review about IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016.

    About Speaker

    Dr. Ashok K. Jain is currently a structural consultant having over 40 years of experience. Formerly, a Professor of Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee. Dr. Jain received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI in 1978. He received gold and silver medals in B.E. (Civil Engineering) and M.E. (Structural Engineering) at the University of Roorkee, Roorkee. He is well known for imparting latest knowledge on each subject/topic through latest analytic tools such as MATLAB, MS Excel, SAP2000, and ETABS.

    Dr. Jain has published over 50 refereed journal papers and over 60 conference papers on various topics. He has authored five text books:

    • Dynamics of Structures with MATLAB Applications, Published by Pearson (2016)
    • Reinforced Concrete – Limit State Design now in its 7th edition (2012) – This book has the distinction of being the first book on the subject published in 1983 in India and enjoys excellent reputation till date.
    • Advanced Structural Engineering with Finite Element Method, 3rd edition (2015)
    • Strength of Materials and Structural Analysis, 2nd edition (2008)
    • Fortran programming, second edition (1990) – now discontinued

    He has delivered keynote addresses in many conferences and conducted short specialist courses on Reinforced Concrete, water retaining structures, ductile detailing of structures, dynamics of structures and earthquake resistant design.

    Today, I would like to share an inspiring story of Shree Praveen Vasishth (BSc Civil Engineering, Msc Structural Engineering from Delhi college of Engineering). He is 70+ years old. He served Central Electricity Authority (CEA) at various positions, starting from design assistant to Director T.C.D. for overall span of ~34 years. During his tenure, he was involved in the civil & structural design of thermal power plants across the country. Unfortunately, he got permanent disability before ~3 years.

    The physical limitations, substantial reduction in hearing capacity, older age etc. have not at all affected his desire of learning further. He attended our FOUR online courses (STAAD-STR-001, EQ-STR-001, STEEL-STR-001, ETABS-STR-002) in the last year.

    I must say that he is one of the most punctual participant and having the highest attendance in all the four courses!

    He is truly an inspiration for all of us that there is no age for learning and no physical limitations can restrict you if there is a strong desire for learning!!

    We are going to schedule the courses based on demand of engineers. You may fill up the Pre-Registration form wherein you can select the number of courses as per your interest as well as you can suggest the new courses at following link. Your valuable feedback will immensely help us to prioritize the courses.

    Session 24 : Stiffness modifiers as per IS codes

    The concept of stiffness modifiers was introduced for the first time in IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016. The clause no. 6.4.3.1 of the code defines requirements for structural analysis. It is mentioned in the clause that for structural analysis, we should consider reduced moment of inertial for RCC structures. For columns, 70 percent of Igross should be considered and for beams, 35 percent of Igross to be considered. Thereafter, stiffness modifiers were defined in IS 16700 as well. There are certain practical difficulties as it is a relatively new concept for the Indian Standards.

    We arranged couple of live technical discussions earlier on the subject. However, still we are receiving queries from the engineers as well as there are few requests for arranging the live discussion on the stiffness modifiers.

    In view of the above, next live technical discussion is planned on 25-SEP-21 (Saturday) at 7:00 PM.

    Feedback of few participants for previous online courses:

    D. Nivetha

    The Staad Pro Training sessions were extremely fruitful, informative and it gave deeper insights into the field of structural engineering. Bhavin sir had not only taught us the software of Staad Pro, but he had explained us several technical concepts based on his field experiences. It was an interactive session where sir had asked us questions and it helped us think a lot and come up with solutions. Overall, it’s been a great experience and this 25 day of training has taught me a lot and has inspired me to develop greater passion towards civil engineering.

    Haridharan M K

    The online course EQ-STR-001 was very informative and it covered all the aspects of IS1893, IS16700, IS13920 and more important sharing the videos of the course which enabled to go through at any time.

    M. K. Haridharan

    In the course ETABS-STR-001, all the session are very interactive, it has a touch with theory, hands on training and practical aspects. The knowledge of the mentor is extraordinary in all aspects.

    Anvitha Yadama

    It has been an excellent course and given me an in-depth understanding on ETABS and STAAD.Pro software . I feel more confident in my understanding and it helped me complete my major project in my B. Tech course .Thank you for all the support and excellent teaching. During the training program all my queries were answered quickly.

    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.

    REVA VENU V M

    I am a budding geotechnical engineering professional. For three years I have worked as faculty in NIT and recently joined as project fellow- geotechnical engineering in a research Institute. Now I am in the transition phase of my career ie, shifting from academics to industry. My desire to become a geotechnical engineering consultant inspired me to join this course. As I don’t have much industrial exposure, attending the course GEO-STR-001 helped me to gain a lot of practical knowledge related to geotechnical engineering. Especially the discussions related to soil investigation, interpretation of soil report and interactive sessions were really amazing. Queries of other participants and the discussions associated with it,were really informative, as it mainly focussed on current industrial practices. Thank you Vivek sir and Bhavin sir for giving this wonderful opportunity. Hoping for a better support in my future endeavours too. Also expecting further courses related to this, in the coming future.

    Nitin Sharma

    I would like to thanks and appreciate for this helpful course comprising of STAAD PRO Training and Design concepts for RCC and Steel. In this module I have learned in detail about essential concepts for designing industrial buildings and gained an understanding of different types of Analysis. I also acquired the knowledge of different types of Codes. Moreover, l was introduced with FEM, design of foundation, anchor bolts and connections. All the sessions were very interactive and engaging. The valuable knowledge that i have gained in these two months will certainly be propitious to start my career as a structural engineer.

    Kunal Patil

    At first I never expected the sessions which are going to be conducted would be so knowledgeable. Day by day listening to Abhay sir touching every aspect from the codal point of view, few from his own experience. The mixture of everything made this course WIND-STR-002 very valuable and useful. Before this course I was trying to learn from everywhere how does this wind dynamic forces are to be calculated but through SQVE consultants arranging this webinar and learning under experience fraternity was worthwhile.

    Mohd Ameen Irfan

    Bhavin Sir is very experienced and expert in his field, He made the topics in online course STAAD-STR-001 very clear from the scratch and also addressed every student’s queries and problems very nicely!!!

    The course STAAD-STR-001 was really amazing an knowledgeable. As I fresher I gained so much knowledge about all the little things I didn’t know that were so much important. Troubleshooting of the software was the most important topic as a single wrong interpretation of the warning can totally change the outcome. I heartily thanks Shri Bhavin bhai and SQVE consultants for introducing such wonderful courses so that we can perform good in practice.

    This course related to STAAD.Pro and case studies was beyond the conventional software training. It helped me conceptualise the idea behind the behaviour of any structure, understand the special requirements between steel and concrete structures. Real life case study and interactive sessions made the learning more impactful.

    The Course WIND-STR-002 was very effective. It changed my perspective on not only wind engineering but also seismic loading analysis. Dr.Gupta also referred some excellent books which would not have been possible otherwise. Last but not the least, Dr. Gupta was kind enough to give me the charges of highlighting the errata for the Explanatory Handbook on Wind Engineering.

    Dear Sir thank you so much for your Course ETABS-STR-001. We learn Lot from here. Happy to Join this Course we are waiting for next Upcoming Courses.

    Kunal Patil

    At first I never expected the sessions which are going to be conducted would be so knowledgeable. Day by day listening to Abhay sir touching every aspect from the codal point of view, few from his own experience. The mixture of everything made this course WIND-STR-002 very valuable and useful. Before this course I was trying to learn from everywhere how does this wind dynamic forces are to be calculated but through SQVE consultants arranging this webinar and learning under experience fraternity was worthwhile.

    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.

    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.

    Anal Shah

    The course WIND-STR-002 was so interactive and Dr. Abhay Gupta was so kind enough to listen to all queries and answer them in very great detail. Also time spent by Dr. Gupta is highly appreciated. Great job Dr. Gupta in spreading the knowledge.

    Chokshi Hem

    I heard somewhere that we shall never use STAAD for dynamic analysis. But that wrong interpretation of the software was cleared through the course : STAAD-STR-001.

    M. K. Haridharan

    In the course ETABS-STR-001, all the session are very interactive, it has a touch with theory, hands on training and practical aspects. The knowledge of the mentor is extraordinary in all aspects.

    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.

    Nitin Sharma

    I would like to thanks and appreciate for this helpful course comprising of STAAD PRO Training and Design concepts for RCC and Steel. In this module I have learned in detail about essential concepts for designing industrial buildings and gained an understanding of different types of Analysis. I also acquired the knowledge of different types of Codes. Moreover, l was introduced with FEM, design of foundation, anchor bolts and connections. All the sessions were very interactive and engaging. The valuable knowledge that i have gained in these two months will certainly be propitious to start my career as a structural engineer.

    Ajay Narayan Jadhav

    WIND-STR-002 : Excellent sessions. Thanks a lot to team SQVe and the eminent speaker for giving a valuable knowledge.

    Dr. Vinubhai Patel

    The course WIND-STR-002 was really very much informative and useful. Enjoyed a lot.

    D. Nivetha

    The Staad Pro Training sessions were extremely fruitful, informative and it gave deeper insights into the field of structural engineering. Bhavin sir had not only taught us the software of Staad Pro, but he had explained us several technical concepts based on his field experiences. It was an interactive session where sir had asked us questions and it helped us think a lot and come up with solutions. Overall, it’s been a great experience and this 25 day of training has taught me a lot and has inspired me to develop greater passion towards civil engineering.

    Session 11 : Amendment no. 2 for IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016 & IS 13920 : 2016

    Recently, BIS published the amendments related to IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016 & IS 13920 in November, 2020. The article shows some of the major changes made in the code as per my understanding. Only brief details are mentioned below, for details please refer the amendments.

    Amendment no. 2 of IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016

    1.     Clause related to vertical earthquake shaking is modified. The requirements are added for embankments, dams, bridges, etc. Also, the criteria for consideration of vertical earthquake shaking are modified. 

    2.     The methodology for calculation of torsional irregularity is updated. The maximum displacement should be checked against the average displacement as against the minimum displacement in the previous version of the code. For more details, please refer the amendment.

     3.     For a building with re-entrant corners, three dimensional dynamic analysis to be performed with the flexible floor diaphragm. If there is a rigid diaphragm in the building then two separate analysis to be performed, firstly with flexible diaphragm and secondly with the rigid diaphragm. The worst effects to be considered from both the analysis.

     4.     For out of plane offset in vertical elements, the forces and moments due to earthquake effects in the elements connecting the two vertical elements with out of plane offset elements, the vertical element supporting the offset, and connections shall be enhanced by a factor of at least 2.5.

     5.     The provisions for stiffness irregularity are further clarified and few changes are made as well. In the note, it is mentioned that this provision is not applicable to such storeys, which have: (a) lower height, where services and utilities are housed, or (b) outrigger frame members placed in them.

     6.     For weak storey irregularity – buildings with strength irregularity shall not be permitted. In case, the weak storey is because of URM infills, provisions of 7.10 shall be followed.

     7.     Floating columns – Such columns are likely to cause concentrated damage in the structure, and are undesirable. A building with floating columns shall not be permitted, if the floating columns are part of or supporting the primary lateral load resisting system.’

     8.     Irregularity related to “Irregular Modes of Oscillation in Two Principal Plan Directions” is further clarified. It is also mentioned that this provision is not applicable to buildings with large podiums in the lower storeys.

     9.     For importance factor, “school” is replaced with the “educational building”.

     10.  OBF is not allowed in seismic zone III, IV & V.

     11.  Provisions for flat slab – structural wall system are further clarified.

     12.  Formula for Aw is modified and now it is same as when the code was published in 2016. It is mentioned that The value of Ta obtained shall neither be taken to be more than that given in 7.6.2 (a) nor less than that given in 7.6.2 (c).

     13.  In case of URM, RC members shall be designed for the governing combinations of stress resultants arising from structural analysis of:

    a) Bare frame building, and

    b) Frame building with URM infills.

    14. For other details, please refer the amendment.

     Amendment no. 2 of IS 13920 : 2016
