Qualification

09-2012 - M. Tech Structural Engineering, (GATE 2012, AIR 1056, 97.07 Percentile)
06-2014 VJTI, Matunga, 8.3 CGPA
  Extension of Direct Strength Method for Slender Cold Formed Steel Column Sections with
Perforations ( M Tech Dissertation)
Research was focused on studying applicability of available DSM (Direct Strength Method)
equations for the cold formed steel compression members with perforations by comparing it with
finite element results carried out by ABAQUS. Need for more general design method which
considers the influence of holes across all cold-formed steel was identified and formulas were
proposed for the slender cold formed steel compression members with perforations.
