Training

A two-phase structural design programme: steel structures first, then RCC and advanced seismic analysis. Taught the way the work is done in practice.

Your trainer

Er. Simant Adhikari

A civil engineer and structural designer who has trained engineers on analysis and design software, and who designs RCC, steel and pre-engineered buildings in day-to-day practice.

Tutor / Trainer

Gyanhub Pvt. Ltd.

Kathmandu

  • Trained engineers on structural analysis and design software: ETABS, SAFE, RCDC and SAP2000.
