Session 5: Traditional Architecture vs Modern Architecture
Traditional architecture is also known as “Vernacular architecture”. It is used to define the methods of construction which uses the resources and traditions of the place to which they belong. These mainly constitutes of the common buildings that have been developed over time and usually reflect the cultural environmental and historical contexts of the place in which they evolve. Modern architecture is a architecture that has led to the simplification in structures and also to provide an attractive and appealing look with the usage of modern themes and techniques. The first styles of the modern architecture were seen very early in the 20th century but they have become popular only after the second world war.

Session 6: Steel Structure and Framework
Steel is the construction material which comprises of specific shape and chemical compositions to meet the suitable project requirements. The structural steel shapes are t-beams, i-beams, plates, channels, angles etc., Steel structures have more second moment of inertia and are very stuff in respect to their cross-sectional area and can bear more loads when compared to concrete structures. The steel structures have very attractive and pleasing look and most preferable by the architectures. These are costlier than concrete structures but require less maintenance and are more durable, having high yield strength. Grades of steel commonly used are Fe250 (Mild Steel), Fe415, 500, 550 and 600 (High Yield Strength Deformed Bars).

Session 7: Pre-Stressed Concrete(PSC) vs Reinforced Cement Concrete(RCC)
Pre-stressed concrete is a form of concrete which is pre-casted by using the high-tensile wires or tendons before the casting of concrete known as “Pre-tensioning” and the concrete member undergoes “Post-tensioning” by creating ducts in a concrete member. PSC is widely used for the large structural members to save time, energy, and to get more strength, stability, and durability. PSC members are used in metro rail projects, bridges and many other huge projects.Reinforced cement concrete is a usually used for all structures which cannot resist the stresses and loads effectively as PSC as it having low tensile strength and ductility counteracted by the reinforcement.

Session 8: Skyscrapers
Skyscraper is a very tall, multi-storeyed building, which is first came into use during 1880s. The development of skyscrapers brings the results of many technical and social development coincidences. The term skyscraper first applied to buildings of 10 to 20 storeys, but by the late 20th century the term was used to describe high-rise buildings having 40 storeys. As the population density of urban areas has increased, so there is a huge need for buildings that rises rather than spread. The skyscraper, which was originally a form of commercial architecture, has increasingly been used for residential purposes as well.

Session 9: Green Building and Environment
Green Building is a environmental responsible and sustainable structure that reduces the harmful impacts on human health and environment and has an efficient use of natural resources. The most important benefit that a green building offers to our natural environment is that it not only reduces or eliminates the harmful impacts on the environment by the efficient use of natural resources, but also have a healthy and positive impact on the environment by generating its own energy resources or increasing the biodiversity.

Session 10: Digital Design in Architecture
Digital design in architecture uses the architectural software tools like AUTOCAD, REVIT ARCHITECTURE, 3DS MAX for Preparing the plan and design of a architectural structure in a most appropriate, easy and attractive manner.Digital Design is a new take on starting architectural design, introducing digital skill sets and parametric thinking through drawing, modelling, and prototyping. The exercises starts from two-dimensional drawings and graphical compositions, to the three-dimensional spatial studies, to physical and material investigations. At each point, there is a use of computational design tools and digital information to generate, analyse the architectural design propositions.

Session 11: Safety and Security Measures at Construction Sites
The safety and security of crew and the instruments at construction sites is very essential and it needs a complete care towards it. A small negligence in safety and security can cause the huge damage to the labours and the instruments. So, safety officer is assigned at site to observe and take the preventive measures if anything happens against the proposed plan. Security guards should be available at the site to safeguard valuable construction equipment.

Future Prospect
A significant part of future structural engineering work will involve in the rehabilitation, reuse of existing infrastructure and sustainable structures and plays important role in interpretation, determination and leaderships in the structural design for developing future infrastructure. It is also very essential to lead the development, implementation of new technologies in structural field and also in infrastructural development. The demonstration of the structural engineers to motivate them to develop the creative and innovative solutions for both traditional and non-traditional problems.
Conclusion
In the Structural design process, it is important to determine the potential danger and its extent. Most importantly, human safety should be provided. During the architectural design, the behaviour under extreme compressive loading on the various structural elements like walls, floors, roofs, should be considered carefully. Especially in earthquake zones, and for a multi-storied building, the structure is to be designed by considering the seismic land wind loads along with other dead, live and special loads. The geological investigation including the soil bearing capacity should be find before the designing of any structure and the infrastructure development is very essential for the growth of any country providing the safe and easy approach the population of that country.
