Structural drawing is an important document. Here are some tips to help you produce error free drawings & set up a drawing checking process.

Aesthetic & structural advantage of circular columns are over ruled by formwork cost & challenge in controlling concrete pressure.

Short column effect is an undesirable effect when a column is too short. It attracts more seismic force due to stiffness & may be damaged.

Building collapse is avoidable.In this article, we will talk about the top solutions to avert a building collapse.

Shear wall is a structural element in buildings that resist lateral loads. Find out never discussed points about shear walls in this blog.

Searching for civil engineering jobs? Are you interested in civil engineering jobs or a career? Read to know the kind of opportunities.

A soil report needs a careful understanding. Structural engineers should know how to interpret it & use the results for structural design.

You can be error free in structural design by adopting validation methods based on basic understanding of structures & by checking process.

Wrong Dead load calculations has a compounding effect on the over all economy of a building project. Seismic load also depends on Dead load.

In this blog, I will introduce yo o 5 interesting IS code clauses which am sure you would not have understood carefully.

Stability is much more than overturning. Stability is also about moment connections, sway, load variation, sliding many practical points.

Communication is an asset.When it comes to civil engineers, communication has a different dimension.

A force envelope is a single diagram that super imposes all load combinations and make it visible for you at a single place.

Soft storey is a situation when the upper levels of a building is stiffer than the lower storey. This can result in undesirable performance.

There are many simple points about beams that entry level civil design engineers care less about. This blog discusses 7 such points.

Today’s structural design training and vlog is about a basic structural analysis and design concept pertaining to stiffness
