Collapse of 30+ storey building | Session 91

INTRODUCTION

SQVE STRUCTURAL SUMMIT | SESSION 91

On 28 March 2025, the world watched in disbelief as a 30+ storey tower in Bangkok, still under construction, collapsed dramatically. Caught on camera from multiple angles, the footage has since gone viral and sparked intense discussions across the engineering community. What makes this incident even more alarming is that Bangkok is located over 1,000 km from the earthquakeโ€™s epicenterโ€”yet the building still gave way.

In response to numerous requests, we are organizing a focused technical session to explore this unprecedented event.

What to Expect in the Session:

  • A visual breakdown and timeline of the collapse using available footage
  • Insights into potential causesโ€”design flaws, seismic underestimation, or construction lapses ??
  • Collated reasons from experienced structural engineers
  • Learning from failure

This is more than a case study. Itโ€™s an opportunity for professionals and learners alike to come together, analyze a failure, and draw essential lessons that can shape the future of structural safety.

Join us live on 29 April 2025 at 8:30 PM IST.
Be part of this important conversation and contribute to a stronger, safer built environment.

The session will be conducted by Bhavin Shah (SQVe Consultants).

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.

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.

Praveen Upadhyay

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.

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.

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.

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.

Rajashree

The course WIND-STR-001 facilitated discussion and understanding of conceptsย  in more detailed simplified manner under the experienced and knowledgeable professionals. Thank you Dr Abhay sir and Bhavin sir.

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.

Aswathi

DYN-STR-001: Course was really helpful. Mr. Bhavin was able to explain the practical scenarios which was great.

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.

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.

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.

INTRODUCTION

LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES

SQVe is probably a single platform wherein couple of live discussions related to draft standard for โ€œearthquake resistant design and detailing of steel buildingsโ€ were organised in month of June, 2022. The earlier recorded sessions are available at our YouTube channel. Recently, BIS has published the standard IS 18168:2023. Following shows few of the major changes in the document:

  • The document to be referred when there is conflict with section 12 of IS 800:2007
  • The general concepts adopted in this standard for buildings are applicable also for other types of structures; in particular, provisions of this standard may be taken as a guide for design of components of industrial structures and steel bridges.
  • 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. In our upcoming live technical discussion, we will have quick overview of the document and will highlight major changes with reference to the current design practices. We will arrange few more sessions as per requirements of the engineers.

In the following registration form, you may share the specific discussion points. The same would help us to structure the discussion.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Rajashree

DYN-STR-001: This course gives detailed concept clearance of the machine foundation and give confidence to analyse it. thank you Bhavin sir for such courses.

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

Itโ€™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??โ€ฆ 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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    DYN-STR-001: This course gives detailed concept clearance of the machine foundation and give confidence to analyse it. thank you Bhavin sir for such courses.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
