ABOUT RAVIKUMAR KARKAR
I am a dedicated structural engineer with a strong background in civil and structural engineering, project management, and design consultancy. With over three years of experience, I have contributed to industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects, working with international design standards (IS, AISC, ASCE, ACI, CSA, NBCC) and advanced engineering tools such as Abaqus, ANSYS, RFEM, TEKLA, ETABS, STAAD Pro, and AutoCAD. I have applied Professional Engineer License (P.Eng.) in Manitoba.I hold a Master of Engineering (MEng) in Civil Engineering from Carleton University, Canada, and a Master of Engineering (ME) in Structural Engineering from Gujarat Technological University, India. This strong academic foundation, combined with hands-on experience, has enabled me to deliver innovative and efficient engineering solutions.Key Areas of Expertise- Structural analysis and design for steel and reinforced concrete structures- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and seismic assessment of buildings- Structural design review, reporting, and engineering consultancy- Foundation design (Raft, Pile, Combined, Isolated Footings)- Retrofitting and strengthening techniques for existing structures- Project planning, scheduling, budgeting, and risk management- Coordination between engineers, architects, and contractors- Ensuring compliance with regulatory and safety standards- Preparing technical reports, design documentation, and stakeholder presentationsAdditionally, I have contributed to research and delivered expert lectures on seismic strengthening and nonlinear structural analysis. I am always open to new opportunities where I can apply my technical expertise and project management skills to deliver innovative engineering solutions. Let’s connect!
