Hi, I'm Shriram 👋
Graduate Structural
Engineer
RC & Steel Design · ETABS · SAP2000 · 2+ Years Site Experience
Master of Engineering (Structural) graduate from UTS with 2+ years of hands-on construction site experience in India. I design to code, understand how structures are built, and can contribute from Day 1.
My Projects
Structural analysis and design projects applying Australian codes, finite element modelling, and connection design to real engineering problems.
RC Building – ETABS 3D Model
Finite element model of a multi-storey reinforced concrete frame used for structural analysis and design.

About Me
A bit more about who I am and what drives my work
I'm a structural engineering graduate completing my Master of Engineering (Structural) at the University of Technology Sydney, with 2+ years of hands-on construction site experience in India — supervising residential RC projects, coordinating trades, and ensuring compliance with structural drawings and safety standards.
My Master's thesis — Carbon Value Engineering: A Framework for Integrating Embodied CO₂ & Cost Reduction Strategies in Building Design — reflects my commitment to sustainable, efficient structural outcomes. I hold full working rights in Australia (Subclass 485) and a White Card.
What I Bring
- RC & Steel Design — AS3600, AS4100, AS5100 compliant analysis and design
- 2+ Years Site Experience — supervised $1.5M+ residential RC projects, zero major non-conformances
- Structural Analysis — load combinations, ULS/SLS design, STAAD Pro, SAP2000, PLAXIS 2D, ANSYS
- Estimating & QA — RIB CostX quantity takeoff, quality control, WHS compliance
Tools I Use
- Analysis & Design: STAAD Pro, SAP2000, ETABS, Microstran, PLAXIS 2D, ANSYS
- Drafting & BIM: AutoCAD, Revit (ongoing)
- Estimating: RIB CostX
- Codes: AS3600, AS4100, AS5100, AS1720.1, AUSTROADS, AASHTO
Certifications & Portfolio
My ETABS (Udemy) certificate is available for download, and you can grab the compact Portfolio PDF as well.
How I Approach Engineering
Safety First
Every design decision prioritizes the safety of people and structures. Code compliance isn't optional—it's fundamental.
Smart & Elegant
Beautiful structures are efficient. I aim for designs that do more with less—cleaner, leaner, more economical.
Lasting Impact
Good structures endure for decades. I design thinking about sustainability, durability, and impact on people and environment.
🏗️ Site Experience
Over 2 years as a Site Engineer in India, working across residential RC projects — from foundations to roof slabs — with direct responsibility for quality, safety, and schedule.
- ▸ Supervised residential building projects valued at ~$1.5M (Chennai Civil Construction)
- ▸ Coordinated 20+ labourers and subcontractors to maintain workflow and reduce schedule delays
- ▸ Monitored reinforcement placement, formwork, and concrete works — zero major quality non-conformances
- ▸ Executed setting out, levelling, and concrete pours for foundations, slabs, beams, and columns
- ▸ Enforced PPE and WHS compliance; maintained daily site records and progress reports
🌿 Research: Carbon Value Engineering (UTS Master's Thesis)
"Carbon Value Engineering: A Framework for Integrating Embodied CO₂ & Cost Reduction Strategies in Building Design" — developed at UTS as part of my Master of Engineering (Structural).
- ▸ Developed a decision framework linking embodied carbon reduction with structural cost optimisation
- ▸ Applied to real building typologies relevant to the Australian construction market
- ▸ Builds on prior published research in geotechnical and concrete materials engineering (Springer, ScienceDirect)
Outside of engineering, I stay current with developments in sustainable construction, structural software, and the evolving Australian building code landscape.
