I have observed in the past 6-month that there is a real need to bring together and promote the profession of Structural Engineering in Pakistan. To start the process we are working on a platform PASE - Pakistan Association of Structural Engineers (www.pase.pk). This is a voluntary setup and the aim is to promote practical aspects of structural design and construction in Pakistan. We have started with a simple website, which s in early stages of development (baby steps). Interesting to note that the idea came about after a post in SEPAKISTAN. Whilst nothing is easy in Pakistan, (which makes the challenge more exciting), we aim to make inroads and bring the "Pakistan Structural Engineering Profession" to International Standards by knowledge sharing on real practical design and construction topics - so you can be equipped to compete with the right skills in both national and Internationally against other consulting engineers. For forum and discussions, the PASE website directs the visitor to this SEPAKISTAN forum....which i think works great, so congratulations to Sepakistan team - great set up guys. First challenge is to compile a "Pakistan Building Reinforcement Detailing Manual", and make it available on the website in the next few months(only started on it after a post in this forum a few days ago, will take a month or two to compile). The aim is to equip the Pakistani Structural Engineers with knowledge and information on "practical structural design" - that is at par with international standards. A 2-day programme of training courses and lectures was in the planning for October 2020 in Islamabad - but this has had to be postponed for the time being due to Covid-19 social distancing and travel restrictions. This may now probably move to later in the year or even early in 2021 - we shall see. The website: pase.pk (If you have issue connecting then google "Pakistan Association of Structural Engineers pase.pk") - we certainly are not IT professionals. Any feedback via the "contact" tab of the website from structural engineers would be welcome. Kind Regards Simple Structures
