Dear All:
The Civil Engineering Department of Birla Institute of Technology is organizing an International Virtual Workshop on Advanced Analysis and Design of Steel Structures in association with the US-India Education Foundation (USIEF), SEI Graduate Student Chapter of ASCE at BITS Pilani, and the Institute for Steel Development and Growth (INSDAG), Kolkatta during December 13-15, 2022. The US Fulbright Nehru Specialist Prof. Venkatesh Kodur from Michigan State University will be the Chief Guest Speaker at the workshop.
We solicit your active participation in the workshop. The registration details can be found on the attached brochure. Brief details of the workshop are given below for your easy reference.

About the workshop:
This workshop is a part of a collaborative research project between Birla Institute of Technology & Science (BITS) Pilani, Rajasthan India, and the US- India Education Foundation, organized under the aegis of Partnership 2020: US-India Higher Education Cooperation Grants. This three-day workshop aims at presentations and deliberations on the advancement in the analysis and design of steel structures. Multiple important topics such as fire resistance, fatigue strength, and stability analysis will be touched upon during this e-certification program along with numerical examples to support the theory. Emphasis will be on making full use of composite construction to achieve cost-effective and high-performing structures, including those in industrial structures. Therefore, researchers and practicing engineers working in the broad field of design of civil infrastructures can significantly gain by keeping abreast of the latest trends and developments in the field of steel structures for the design of high-performance steel structural systems.
