PEB & Steel Structure Masterclass for Civil Site Engineers

Learn to read base plate drawings, identify BP01 and BP02, and understand column placement, base plate levels from road level, and 24 mm thick plates with 28 mm holes.

Learn to read structural steel column drawings, identify web and flange components, base plates, MCPs, stiffeners, and anchor bolt layouts, and understand factory fabrication and welding steps.

Master reading structural beam drawings by identifying web and flange dimensions, hole patterns and bolt layouts, including stiffeners (R02) and MCP detailing, from MB01–MB03.

Deck sheets form a composite floor system that interlocks with the concrete slab via embossments, acting as permanent formwork and reinforcement while reducing concrete thickness and enabling faster multi-floor casting.

Read mezzanine deck sheet drawings and perform length calculations, choosing deck sheet lengths, overlaps, and widths placed perpendicular to beams, while considering grades, thickness, and allowable loads for various spans.

Describe interior finishes from wall plywood for glass cabin to tile laying and ACP panel installation, ensuring alignment with drawings and correct nail, channel, and false ceiling connections.

Explore core PEB components and terminologies, including roof purlins, ridge lines, eaves and wall systems, bracing, base spacing, gutters, and roof ventilation.

Compute dead loads for peb systems by summing self-weight of frames, purlins, sag rods, deck sheets, insulation, and mezzanine, plus live and collateral loads to estimate 15 to 25 kg/m².

Explore essential code books for PEB designing, including IS 875, IS 1893, IS 13920, and IS 800, plus Idea Statica for connection design with Tekla modeling and Tagpro analysis.

Install a braced bay on site by erecting columns with temporary bracing, check plumb, and secure nuts, base plates, clips, girts, plan bracings, and purlins for stability.

Learn to apply correct torque on bolts to create tension and clamp load, using initial and final tightening and torque wrenches for safe connections.

Sequence roof sheeting and wall cladding in parallel to manage wind loads and ensure a load path to the foundation, with standing seam roofs for long spans and gutters.

Identify essential equipment for erection in peb construction, including mobile crane, forklift, telescopic handler, and scissor lift, plus tools like links, clamps, drift pins, chalk lines, and plumb bobs.

Analyze soil reports, architectural and execution drawings to identify footing types and components, then follow planning, lifting plans, SOPs, and contract documents while prioritizing site safety.

Explore multiple PEB projects across the country, detailing mezzanine decks and joists, main beams, auxiliary laced columns, and bracings, while illustrating load paths, crane girders, and site execution.

Explore the fundamentals of structural systems and the advantages of steel structures over RCC. Learn about prefabrication speed, easy expansion, versatile sections, and diverse joining methods, plus recycling potential.
