M.Tech in Computer Aided Structural Engineering

Computer Aided Structural Engineering is an innovative programme, focused on the combination of recent advances made in the field of structural engineering and computer science. Gradual diffusion of some interdisciplinary areas with structural mechanics has nearly revolutionized the way in which many problems in structural engineering are looked at and solved. The rapid advances made in computational mechanics for solving non-linear ordinary and partial differential equations of interest in structural analyses are in perfect tune with digital revolution. These methods now allow the structural engineer the flexibility and freedom for a better understanding of structural behavior with material and geometric non-linearity and loading uncertainties. This is required because, each Building in itself is unique. It requires expertise for proper planning, design and execution. How the structural members behave for the given static and dynamic loads? How load is transmitted from structure to ground requires considerable insight into structural behavior.
The objective of CASE program is to include recent advances in the development and use of computer methods for the solution of scientific and engineering problems related to structures.
