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.

  • Step by step approach for concrete mix design
  • What are important points to be taken care while review of the concrete mix design?
  • What are the impacts on concrete mix design due to change of aggregates / type of cement, etc?
  • Can we add admixtures at site which are not considered in the concrete mix design?
  • What are QA/QC control to be followed at site?
  • And many more…

In view of the above, we are planning next live discussion on the subject of concrete technology for structural engineers. Dr. Yogini Deshpande will join us in the live discussion.

In the following registration form, you may share the specific doubts/questions related to the topic which may be addressed during the session.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SESSION 27 – DESIGN LIFE OF RCC STRUCTURES

INTRODUCTION

Structural Engineers, Civil Engineers, Owners and other construction professionals are concerned about the life of a structure. All the stakeholders desire a long life for the structure. Also, there is a lot of curiosity amongst the professionals in the wake of monuments being designed for up to 1000 years.

It is difficult and challenging to predict life of a concrete structure as there are multiple factors affecting the same like structural system, design parameters, concrete mix design, type of reinforcement, quality assurance during execution, protection against corrosion, earthquake resistant design, regular maintenance of the structures – to name a few.

In view of the above, the forthcoming online technical deliberation is on design life of RCC structures. The discussion therefore would be focused on the following important areas:

  • Quality control and assurance in lab and at site.
  • Construction Chemicals in concrete mix , grouting, coatings for reinforcement
  • Choices of Reinforcement Steel from durability criterion including coating, surface treatment, alloys, corrosion resistance
  • Deterioration of concrete considering cement chemistry & concrete and concreting practices
  • Predictions of earthquake forces and reform in material science considering ductility

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

 

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 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.

Importance of Quality Assurance in Structural Engineering Firms

Background

Quality assurance is one of the extremely important area for the design engineering consultancy firms. The Quality Assurance covers the broader aspects like compliances to the prevailing regulatory standards, meeting functional & aesthetics requirements, ensuring strength and stability of structures, effective interface to avoid rework at site, generating error free design documents, inclusion of sustainability, safety, constructability aspects, etc. In my opinion to achieve the quality objectives, it is required to define them clearly at initial stage of the project so that the required aspects can be covered during appropriate stages of the projects such as conceptualization, basic engineering, detail engineering, execution, operation, maintenance, etc. In this blog, we are going to talk specifically about the structural engineering firms from the perspective of quality assurance. In upcoming blogs, we will talk more about the multi-disciplinary engineering firms.

Why Quality Assurance is so much important for the Structural Engineering firms or structural department in the multi disciplinary firm?

The prime role of a structural engineer in any project is to ensure the strength & stability of the structures, effective interface with the other disciplines to understand the functional requirements, meeting functional requirements along with the structural requirements, ensuring error free design and documents, compliance to the latest IS codes, generating drawings by taking care of the constructability, sustainability & safety aspects, etc. As structural engineers are taking the prime responsibility for strength and stability of the structure, the quality assurance is extremely important for structures function in the company. In the current scenario, Work From Home is becoming now new normal which again require increased attention on the quality assurance.

What are the common challenges which are being faced by the structures group for quality assurance?

Some of the areas where structures group are facing the challenges are mentioned below:

  • The projects are becoming increasingly fast-track, so the availability of time for the detailed design process is one of the major concern.
  • Apart from any definite statistics, I am of the opinion that the geotechnical failure is one of the major reason for the failure/collapse of the structures. Hence, interface between geo-technical engineer and structural engineer is very crucial for entire project cycle as well as during operation & maintenance.
  • IS codes which are generally used in the design are getting revised gradually to meet the global design practices. The typical revision cycle for IS code is in range of 10~15 years. So, whenever the standards are revised, the consultants have to upgrade the knowledge and the design practices to meet the requirements of the latest codes.
  • With the revisions of IS codes and due to internal bugs or improvements, the software are now revised more frequently than before. With every new version of the software, the design engineer has to become acquaint with the same and at the same time, it has to be ensured that the software is free of major bugs. Authentication / validation of the software is extremely important and the engineer should be aware about limitations of the same while performing the analysis & design.
  • Generally, the excel sheets are used in the design offices for manual design for the items which are not designed in the software. If the control design sheets are not maintained then after few years, there will be multiple versions available with the design engineers may be with nominal changes. Validation and control of these design means is also important for the quality assurance.
  • Frequency of revision of documents is increasing due to internal and external reasons. The chances of errors tend to increase while revising the documents.
  • For keeping pace with the global design practices, the engineers should be trained in the areas like performance based design, wind engineering, concepts of structural dynamics for earthquake resistant design, design of steel structures using Limit State Design method, etc.
  • Due to higher attrition rate,  mid size company might stay in the continuous recruiting mode. Handover of documents and training of newly recruited engineers require substantial investment of time and efforts.

How SQVe can help the company for the above mentioned challenging areas?

  • Our unique mixture of technical depth and proficiency of organization development brings on board the effective and practical solutions for the above mentioned problems. The solutions will be highly customized to meet the requirements of the company. We strive towards making the companies strong internally.
  • We will associate with the company on need basis and the exact scope of work will be detailed out mutually. The entire work will be divided in three phases, firstly, identifying gap areas, secondly, working out the action plan for improvement and finally providing the hand holding support for the implementation.
  • Please get in touch with us to know more about this unique service : contact@sqveconsultants.com . We will schedule online meeting to discuss it further.
