CS-STR-001: DESIGN OF COMPOSITE STRUCTURES
Starting from: 28th May 2026

Composite structures are expected to play a major role in the future of fast-track construction, industrial buildings, commercial projects, metro projects, infrastructure development, and high-rise structures in India. However, many structural engineers still face practical difficulties in understanding IS 11384:2022 and implementation of composite design concepts in real projects.

Considering the increasing industry demand and repeated requests from structural engineers and consultants, SQVe Engineering is launching a detailed online course focused specifically on practical understanding and design of composite structures.

This course is planned with a practical step-by-step learning methodology covering both engineering fundamentals and software implementation.

The major objective of this program is not only to teach software operation, but to help engineers understand:
• Behaviour of composite structural systems
• Intent behind important code provisions
• Engineering significance of different clauses
• Practical interpretation of design outputs
• Limitations and assumptions involved in software applications
• Real project considerations in composite design

SPECIAL EMPHASIS OF THE COURSE:
✔ Clause-by-clause discussion of IS 11384:2022
✔ Understanding intent behind important code provisions
✔ Understanding fundamental concepts in composite structures
✔ Step-by-step manual calculations
✔ Practical design examples in ETABS
✔ Detailed interpretation of ETABS outputs
✔ Validation through manual calculations
✔ Exercises and practical discussions
✔ Development of engineering judgement

The course will broadly cover:
• Composite beams
• Composite slabs
• Composite columns
• Moment connections in composite structures
• Shear connectors
• Construction stage behaviour
• Serviceability requirements
• Stability and buckling behaviour
• Fire resistance requirements
• Fatigue considerations
• Detailing requirements
• ETABS modelling approach
• ETABS design outputs and interpretation

The sessions are structured progressively so that participants can systematically understand the concepts and gradually develop competency in composite structural design.

DETAILED TOPICS INCLUDED:
• Introduction to composite structures
• Design philosophy of composite structures
• IS 11384:2022 provisions
• Load combinations and limit states
• Behaviour of composite beams
• Effective slab width
• Sagging and hogging moments
• Partial shear interaction
• Shear connectors
• Serviceability and vibration
• Composite slab design
• Punching shear and deflection checks
• Composite column behaviour
• Axial and biaxial bending
• Interaction curves
• Fire resistance provisions
• Lateral torsional buckling
• ETABS modelling for composite structures
• ETABS parameter studies
• Validation of ETABS outputs
• Comparison of software outputs with manual calculations

PRACTICAL ETABS SESSIONS INCLUDE:
✔ Composite beam design in ETABS
✔ Composite slab applications
✔ Encased composite column design
✔ Filled composite column design
✔ Parameter variation studies
✔ Interactive interpretation of ETABS outputs
✔ Comparison with manual calculations

COURSE HIGHLIGHTS:
✔ 57+ contact hours
✔ Live online sessions
✔ Interactive discussions
✔ Practical exercises
✔ WhatsApp discussion group
✔ Session recordings available
✔ Recording access for 180 days
✔ Certificate on successful completion

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
• Structural consultants
• Structural design engineers
• EPC professionals
• Proof checking consultants
• Owner’s consultants
• PG students and research scholars
• Civil engineering students interested in structural engineering
• Companies interested in developing internal procedures, checklists, working instructions, and best practices related to composite structures

This course will be highly useful for engineers who:
✔ Want to develop competency in composite structures
✔ Are planning to work on composite structural projects
✔ Want detailed understanding of IS 11384:2022
✔ Want practical ETABS implementation
✔ Want to improve engineering judgement in design
