Screening Task

  1. Task - 1: (Compulsory)

    • Task: Solving design examples in Osdag

    • Task descriptions:

      1. Solve 5 design examples given here using Osdag.
      2. The 5 design examples should be from 5 different modules.
      3. For each of the design example, save the input file (.osi file) and design report (pdf).

  2. Task - 2 

    • Task: Solving design examples using hand calculation and creating a design report (in pdf using LaTeX)

    • Task descriptions:

      1. Solve design examples (5 examples) from screening task 1 using hand calculation.
      2. The design examples solved using hand calculation should be check for all the necessary design and detailing checks (as per Indian standards) as per the design report in Osdag. It is necessary to provide 2-D drawings/images wherever necessary.
      3. Note: You are welcome to add additional/missing check with a suitable reference.
      4. Make a report (pdf) of your hand calculated design using LaTeX (no other format other than this will be accepted for evaluation).
      5. Make a separate TeX file for each example.
      6. A partial sample submission is given here

  3. Task - 3

    • Task: Creating functions for various clauses of IS 800:2007 in Python programming language

    • Task descriptions:

      1. Choose any one section from IS 800:2007 between section 2 to section 10 or Annexure D, E, F.
      2. Convert the clauses of the chosen section or annexure of IS 800:2007 into Python code using an appropriate data structure (function, dictionary, list, etc.)
      3. The code should be efficient and well documented as in the reference Python file - here
