TRAINING COURSE: Civil Engineering Design

Civil Structural Engineering

Civil Structural Engineering for power plants deal with the analysis and design aspects, the basic purpose of which is to ensure a safe, functional and economical structure. While designing, the designer constantly interacts with specialists like architects, operational managers, etc. Once the design is finalized, the implementation takes involvement of people to handle aspects like statutory approvals, planning, quality assurance, material procurement, etc. The entire exercise can be undertaken in a highly coordinated way if everyone involved understands the 'project language', which is a combination of designs and specifications. Thunders and the language fully, it is necessary to appreciate the principles of structural analysis and design and a course on this topic comes in handy here. Participants of this workshop will gain advanced knowledge of structural engineering that includes principles of analysis of structures and their application, behavior of materials under loading, selection of construction materials and design fundamentals for RCC and steel structures. The emphasis has been kept on the determination of nature and quantum of stress Developed under loads and the way structures offer resistance to it. Being the most widely used construction materials, RCC and steel has been covered in detail. And the Training is summarized in the following outlines.

For those engineers with limited design experience, the course will provide sample illustration of real structures that may assist the designer to understand StaadPro. and apply it on different types of buildings. Different types of editing data to StaadPro. will be discussed, and the easiest way to deal with it will be reached.

The wide range of issues to be discussed, revolve around the use of StaadPro. in structural Analysis of different types of structures. The examples to be used would vary from the typical two-dimensional beams and frames to the three-dimensional multistory frames to special systems such as space frames and three-dimensional slabs and raft foundations. Throughout the course, the instructor shall start from the basics to allow ensuring the full participation and comprehension of all attendants, bearing in mind variations in background from education to practice.
