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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…!!

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.

Hiren Desai

The course WIND-STR-002 is very much informative as well as useful for practicing engineers considering the non availability of easy to detailed literatures and practical examples.

  • Provisions of this standard are applicable for SMRF, SCBF and EBF
  • Material may be used up to E350 (B0 or C) as per IS 2062
  • Table-2 is added for section classification
  • Additional load combinations are mentioned
  • Slenderness ratio of beam is limited in the region of plastic hinge formation
  •  The slenderness ratio of unbraced length of columns shall be less than 75.
  • Criteria defined for the bracing size
  • Requirement for column-beam strength ratio is identified.
  • Criteria defined for design of fixed column base and pinned column base
  • Design methodology included for shear link of EBF frame, etc.

In summary, there are significant changes as compared to the section 12 of IS 800:2007.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mr. AJAY NARAYAN JADHAV

JUST TO APPRECIATE THE WORKSHOP STAAD-STR-001, IT HAS BEEN VERY USEFUL FOR ME. I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE DYNAMIC OF THE SESSIONS, VERY ACTIVE, INTERESTING, AND WELL ORGANISED AND GREAT TO SHARE EXPERIENCES. MANY THANKS TO THE SPEAKER AND ORGANISERS!!…..ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU FOR SHARING AN INSPIRING LEARNING EXPERIENCE 👍

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.

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.

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.

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.

Session 58: Retrofitting of existing structures in India

INTRODUCTION

LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES

It’s necessary, now more than ever post Turkey Earthquakes, to seriously review the existing building structures for ensuring satisfactory performance even in high intensity earthquakes in India.

How safe are the existing structures in India during seismic events??… is a question we are being asked everyday.

I must mention an important fact here, before embarking on any further discussion on the subject, that National Building Code has mandated a Technical Audit of all public buildings more than 15m high, every 3 to 5 years, and buildings found unsafe to be sealed and duly retrofitted before being permitted to be used. These Audits must cover Structural Safety Audit as well as a comprehensive review of electrical and Fire installations as well as conformance to the latest bye laws and the Structural Audit thus carried out will be based on the latest revision of Earthquake Codes, and will bridge the compliance gap with Codal guidelines. It will also ensure safety of lives and safety of precious infrastructure in a serious earthquake close to the region so critical for a fast developing Indian economy. We cannot depend on Government alone to accomplish this Herculean effort and all individual building owners must come forward to get Structural Audits and Strengthen their building structures to make them safe and Code Compliant.

All existing buildings need to be reviewed with latest version of BIS Codes, duly allowing for a suitable reduction in Base Shear as per BIS 15988 and strengthening must be carried out to bring it to a Code compliant level. Else, Delhi NCR may witness scenes similar to Turkey and Syria or worse. Special focus must be given to Hospitals, schools, critical communications and Transport infrastructure (Especially Elevated Metro stations, which are all basically stilted structures with extreme mass and stiffness irregularity)

Ms. Sangeeta Wij

In the upcoming live event, Ms. Sangeeta Wij will join us for the very important discussion.

It would be great if you can share your specific queries/doubts related to the subject 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.

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.

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…!!

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.

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.

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.

Mainak Ghosal

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.

    STEEL-STR-001 : Excellent initiative to bring clarity of concepts to professionals.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Praveen Vasishth

    STEEL-STR-001 is very useful course for updating to new code for steel design of buildings.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    Praveen Upadhyay

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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…!!

    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.

    I AM A PHD SCHOLAR AND WORKING IN THE FIELD OF WIND STRUCTURE INTERECTION. I GOT A LOT OF MY DOUBTS CLEARED THROUGH THIS COURSE : WIND-STR-002. THANKYOU VERY MUCH

    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.

    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.

    Mainak Ghosal

    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.

    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!

    Mr. AJAY NARAYAN JADHAV

    JUST TO APPRECIATE THE WORKSHOP STAAD-STR-001, IT HAS BEEN VERY USEFUL FOR ME.

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

    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.

    Ajay Narayan Jadhav

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

    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.

    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.

    The course WIND-STR-002 is very much informative as well as useful for practicing engineers considering the non availability of easy to detailed literatures and practical examples.

    Sharad Gupta

    I am very grateful to Er. Dr. Abhay Gupta and Mr. Bhavin Shah for sharing your knowledge with us even though we have the same profession. Your course WIND-STR-002 helped me to clear many of the doubts I had sine the past 20 years.

    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.

    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!

    Er. Sachi Parekh

    I appreciate the course structure designed by Er. Bhavin Shah , which includes the theory and implementation of coddle provisions to software and interpretation of results. By attending it, I am able to learn and explore the analogy of a software – Staad Pro. Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge and make my doubts crystal clear…

    I must say that he is a true professional academician
    Like a bridge between Institute and industry…

    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”.

    Session no. 7 : Irregularities as per Table no. 5 & 6 of IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016

    I have received suggestions from engineers to take up the discussion on irregularities as per table no. 5 &6 of IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016.

    It is a well established fact that the regular building perform better than the irregular buildings during seismic event. In IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016, plan and vertical irregularities are defined in Table no. 5 & 6 of the code. The building is said to be irregular if any one of the irregularity is present in the building. It is mentioned in the code that all the efforts shall be made to eliminate irregularities by modifying architectural planning and structural configurations.

    For each irregularity, mathematical limits are defined in the code as well as further action is detailed out whenever the irregularity exceeds the defined limits.        

    Table no. 5 – Plan irregularities :

    • Torsional irregularity
    • Re-entrant corners
    • Floor slabs having excessive cut-outs or opening
    • Out-of-plane offsets in vertical elements
    • Non-parallel lateral force system

    Table no. 6 – Vertical irregularities :

    1. Stiffness irregularity (Soft storey)
    2. Mass irregularity
    3. Vertical geometric irregularity
    4. In-plane discontinuity in Vertical elements resisting lateral force
    5. Strength irregularity (Weak storey)
    6. Floating or stub columns
    7. Irregular modes of oscillation in two principal plan directions

    We will discuss each irregularity in detail during live technical discussion. The participants will also share their experiences related to the table no. 5 & 6 of the code. 

    You may share the specific queries / discussion point which may be taken up during live technical discussion.

    Join us on next Sunday (25-Oct-20) for live technical discussion on different irregularities as per table no. 5 and 6 of IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016. Please share discussion points for the same in the comment box. You may also circulate this message with the interested engineers in your circle.
