For design of steel structures, IS 800:2007 was published before ~14 years but still there are many practical difficulties related to implementation of the IS code. It is not a conventional revision of the code as there is complete change in design philosophy from working stress design method to limit state design method. There are practical difficulties since commentary on the code along with practical examples are not available. Also, there are certain gaps between the latest IS code and the current popular software.

It is heard from few engineers that the tonnage we get from the design using IS 800:2007 is higher than the earlier code. Also, there is no confidence in the group of engineers while designing the structure using limit state design method. Hence, they are cross checking results with the working stress method since the software is having both the options.

These kinds of scenarios have prompted us to launch a unique course: STEEL-STR-001 ( Decode IS 800:2007 along with the software). After successful completion of two batches of the course, we have received many requests for relaunching the course. Accordingly, 4th batch of the course will commence from 26-OCT-23.

The course will cover discussion on important clauses of the code as well as application of same in the software, STAAD Pro, RAM connections & ETABS. The course will cover the important areas such as possibilities of cost optimisation, second order elastic analysis, plastic analysis, elastic buckling load factor, moment amplification factors, effective length calculations, different limit states, block shear, lateral torsional buckling, connection design, earthquake resistant design, etc.
