We are receiving number of queries related to design of RCC structures based on IS 456:2000 and IS 13920:2016 with a specific focus on the software applications. Few of the queries are listed below:

How to perform response spectrum analysis in software and how to resolve the problem of lost signs?
a) P-Delta is required to be performed for which kind of structures?
b) What is the difference between P-small delta and P-large delta analysis?
c)In ETABS, whether we should use membrane or shell element?
d)What is the difference between rigid diaphragm and semi-rigid diaphragm in ETABS and what are the relevant applications of the same?
e) What is the significance of stability index in design of columns and how it is calculated in the software?
f) What impact will be made in the structural analysis with and without stiffness modifiers?
g) Whether stiffness modifier values for ultimate and serviceability condition will be same or may be different?
h) Why there are differences in the design results obtained from RCDC and ETABS?
i) How to check and validate the strong column and weak beam design performed in RCDC and ETABS?
j) After performing P-Delta analysis, is it required to consider an additional moment for column design as per IS 456?
k) What should be values of torsional modifiers in ETABS?
l) What is the good practice for labelling of pier and spandrel labels in ETABS?
m) How to apply temperature forces in STAAD.Pro & ETABS? What precautions to be taken care in both the software?
n) We are getting different results in the different software for similar problem. Which software is correct? How to authenticate the software?
and…many more

In view of the above, we are glad to launch a unique online course (RCC-STR-001) which addresses few of the practical difficulties being faced by the engineers. In the course, we will discuss the required concepts and fundamentals along with the software STAAD.Pro, RCDC and ETABS. We will generate various study models for quick comparison of the results from different software. The results will be compared and the important findings will be discussed in detail. The same will be extremely useful for preparation of in-house check-list, working procedure, Do’s and Don’ts, etc.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This course will be useful for following:

Practicing Structural Consultants
Senior Structural Engineers in the company
Junior Structural Engineers in the company
Owner’s consultants
Proof checking consultants
Research scholars, Academicians
Post Graduate students in Structural Engineering
Civil engineering students who are interested in Structural Engineering.
