In general, a building consists of basic structural elements like slabs, beams, columns and footings. These structural elements which are similar to bones in human body are covered by cosmetic like modern wall cladding, floor tiles, plastering etc., like flesh and skin of human body Bones are meant for strength whereas flesh and skin are to exhibit beauty.

Civil engineers are involved in Construction who of course are the actual creators, concentrate only and very good in execution of buildings as per standard specification. But only very meager importance and attention is paid by them on structural aspects. Though the structural design is the duty of structural engineer it is very essential for the civil engineers also to acquire sufficient knowledge in structural aspects. Many situations will arise where in the engineer at site himself has to design the simple structural members like slabs, beams, column etc., or he has to check the adequacy of structural members on the spot to evaluate the structural stability of the building.

This training is packed with basic READY RECKONERS TO ADVANCED will definitely relieve the reluctance of Engineers and Students , towards structural design and will create confidence in their minds to design fluently.
