ABOUT THE EVENT
ABOUT THE EVENT
Two days of super informative short course on “LIGHT GAUGE COLD-FORMED STEEL DESIGN – FUNDAMENTALS & ADVANCEMENTS” covers the basics of light gauge Cold-Formed Steel design, benchmarking it against Hot-Rolled Steel design and equips the participants with the essential peculiarities of CFS design. This course helps the participants to upgrade themselves with the CFS design tool to circumvent the complex calculations involved in Effective Width Method (EWM).
Please note:
The registration fee covers lunch and refreshments (two coffee breaks) each day.
Accommodation charges are not covered in registration fee.

SPEAKER & ORGANIZING SECRETARY
Mahendrakumar Madhavan is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad, India. Prof. Madhavan teaches at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, provides industry training by conducting short courses and seminars, assists practicing structural engineers by offering consultancy services, and leads the structural steel research group at IITH with the goal of enabling sustainable construction practices at home in India and around the globe. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA, a Masters’s Degree from The National University of Singapore, Singapore, and an undergraduate degree from the College of Engineering Guindy, Anna University, Chennai. Prior to joining IIT Hyderabad, Prof. Madhavan worked as a Structural Engineer at Alabama Power Company, Birmingham, and is a Registered Professional Engineer (PE) in the State of Alabama USA.
Prof. Madhavan’s principal research interests lie in the area of physical testing of structural members and systems, numerical modeling through the use of commercially available finite element packages, and the development of new design methods for steel-intensive structures. He has published about 60 peer-reviewed internationally reputed journals and holds membership in the "American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) Technical Administrative Committee on Metals" and in “ASCE SEI Cold-Formed Steel Members Committee". He is an Editorial board member of the Journal of Structures and is an Associate Editor for ASCE Journal of Structural Engineering. Prof. Madhavan is a Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), USA, a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), London, and is also the first Indian to be elected as a Fellow of ASCE’s Structural Engineering Institute (SEI).
