Sub: Refresher Course on “Concrete Bridge Design Using Code of Practice for Concrete

Road Bridges (IRC 112)”, starting from 18th August 2018

Dear Sir / Madam,

As you all are well aware, a prominent thrust area of IAStructE is to ensure that the structural
engineering fraternity in general and its members in particular, have the requisite technical
knowledge and experience, updated on a continuing basis, to render professional service of high
caliber to the society. A programme of continuing education of practicing structural engineers in
the design and practice of structural engineering has been formulated and is being implemented
religiously.

In the recent past IAStructE successfully organized four Refresher Courses on “Prestressed
Concrete Design” during September - October 2016, on “Earthquake Resistant Design of
Buildings” during August – November 2017, on “Bridge Foundation Design” during January –
February 2018 and on “Design of Tall Buildings” during April – June 2018, where many
stakeholders participated actively. We have received very positive & encouraging feedback from
participants of the previous courses.

Under this programme, IAStructE is organizing Refresher Course on “Concrete Bridge Design
Using Code of Practice for Concrete Road Bridges (IRC 112)” starting from 18th August
2018, which will be concluded on 06 October 2018. It will be a 24 Hrs course (12 lectures of 2
hours each). The lectures will be held on every Saturday morning from 9.00 AM to 01.15 PM (with
15 mins. Tea break in between). The venue shall be PHD Chamber of Commerce & Industry, PHD
House, 4/2 Siri Institutional Area, August Kranti Marg, New Delhi 110016. There will be an
expert faculty for each lecture. Course participation fee shall be Rs.10,000/- for non-members
and Rs. 7,500/- for IAStructE members and IRC members. Group discount of 10% shall be
available in case there are more than 3 number of participants from the same organisation. The
Flier giving more details along with the Lecture plan and Registration form are attached herewith
for your kind information. Prof Mahesh Tandon, Governing Council member IAStructE shall be
Course Coordinator of this Refresher Course.

In view of limited seats (maximum 80 seats), you are requested to quickly nominate engineers
from your organization as well as send your registration form duly filled in along with the
requisite fee to reserve the seats, to the Indian Association of Structural Engineers (IAStructE),
New Delhi at the address given below or through email at the earliest. Please note that the

 ABOUT THE COURSE
IRC: 112 is a unified code covering various types of
concrete bridges, using plain concrete, reinforced concrete
and prestressed concrete, constructed by cast-in-place,
precast and composite construction methods. It replaces
two earlier codes IRC:21 for “Plain and Reinforced
Concrete Bridges’ and IRC:18 for “Post-Tensioned
Concrete Bridges”.
It is realized that the Code is to be used by the present
generation of design engineers, who will have to
familiarise themselves with the new and more advanced
methods of the analysis and design used with the limit
state approach.
The Indian Association of Structural Engineers has
therefore proposed to conduct a course on IRC:112 in the
series “Refresher Courses”. The faculty consists of several
stalwarts in the field of bridge design in the Country, who
were part of the evolution and drafting of this important
code.
The application of the code will be illustrated by worked
examples.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Continuing Education of practicing as well as serving
professional engineers is an integral part of their overall
professional development. Professional Engineers
undertake continuing education activities to extend or
update their knowledge, skill or judgement in their areas
of practice. This enables them to: * Enhance their
Productivity * Understand and Apply Advances in
Technology * Face Changes in Career Direction * Better
Serve the Community and / or their Employing
Organization. All progressive minded modern professional
firms/ organizations encourage their professional staff to
participate in continuing education because this enhances
the professional credibility of the organization.
