Introduction

A concern that stands out today is the durability of the structure we build. This short term training programme provides a forum for discussions on this aspect of construction aiming at familiarizing all the latest technology for design and construction of durable concrete structures and the precautions to be taken while using the technology.

Design of stable and durable hydraulic structures will be a part of the discussions. Latest construction technology and materials adopted for the construction of BURJ KHALIFA – the tallest man-made structure, shall be discussed with the audience by the resident engineer who was a part of its construction. Load and resistance factor structural design, a latest development in the area of civil engineering shall also be dealt with by eminent faculties. All the sessions will be engaged by expert faculties from IITs and foreign universities.

BroadObjectives

  • Togiveawarenessregardingthe latest developments in the area of structural design
  • To explore the new frontiers in the design of earthquake resistant buildings and high rise buildings.
  • Tomake the participants be familiar with the new practice of design – Load and Resistance Factor design
  • Tomake the participants be familiar with new IS codes and latest revisions of existing codes.
  • To enable the participants to update their knowledge in various fields of civil engineering and to handle the classes in a better way.

CourseContent

  • Earthquake resistant structural design
  • Design of high rise building
  • Design of hydraulic structures
  • Load and resistance factor structural design
  • Introduction of latest IS codes in civil engineering
