New Year Greetings !!


E-Course on

Seismic Design of Liquid Storage Tanks

January 16 – February 6, 2006

About the E-Course


Welcome… Welcome to the second E-Course in India

in Civil Engineering. First E-course was on IS 1893 (Part

I):2002, in January 2003. This presentation gives you an idea on

conduct of the course. Your instructors:

• Sudhir K Jain of IIT Kanpur• Durgesh Rai of IIT Kanpur• O R Jaiswal of VNIT Nagpur


Conduct of Course The entire material will be divided into about

eight lectures. The lectures will also cover IITK-GSDMA

Guidelines for Seismic Design of Liquid Storage Tanks.

About IITK-GSDMA Guidelines This document is not a BIS code. BIS is considering it for IS 1893 (Part 2) of

tanks It has two parts

Part 1 contains Provisions & Commentary Part 2 gives six solved examples


About IITK-GSDMA Guidelines

Part 1 is written in Code-like format. It gives Commentary of clauses, wherever

necessary. It has two column format; Provisions on left

and Commentary on right side Consistent with present international practice of code writing


About IITK-GSDMA Guidelines

International codes & research papers used in the development of this document, are given in Clause 0.4 (p. 3), C0.5 (p.4), and Commentary References (p. 54, 55). These may be referred in these lectures also Some important references are given on next

slide It is suggested that you keep them also with

you

Conduct of Course Lectures will be posted to you by email,

twice a week. If needed, we may extend duration of the

course by one week. During the course, some assignments

will also be sent to you Assignment may ask you to:

Read some parts of the guidelines Answer some simple questions, or Solve some simple problems

Homework Assignments To get maximum benefit from the course,

you need to be regular with assignments. Answers to the homework problems will

be supplied a few days later. You may compare your solution with the

supplied solution and grade yourself


Questions You are encouraged to ask questions The following schedule for questions and

answers will be followed: All questions about a lecture must be asked

within three days of the lecture being sent All questions about an assignment must be

asked within three days of the solution being provided.


Questions

The above schedule for questions will help Consolidate all the questions and address

them in a systematic way. Participants to be regular in studying

It may not be possible for us to answer questions after the course is over. Hence, make sure you ask all your queries

during the course.
