AI Tools for Indian Structural Engineers

StructBy AI gives structural engineers in India a set of automated and AI-assisted tools for the early, repetitive parts of a job: finding where to read the seismic zone for a listed city, finding your way around NBC 2016 and the main structural IS codes, drafting design reports, specifications and certificates, reading what a structural drawing names into one list and reviewing a PDF sheet for what it documents and where it disagrees with itself, and drafting tender responses. Each page below sets out the tool's inputs and its limits, and every output is a starting point for a qualified person to check and correct before anyone relies on it.

Standards StructBy AI holds summaries of for India

Our own plain-English summaries, covering a fraction of each standard; they are not the text of the standards, and not every tool uses every one. Our NBC summaries are based on NBC 2016, which BIS withdrew on 30 April 2026 when it established SP 7:2026, National Building Construction Standards 2026.

  • NBC 2016
  • IS 456 — Concrete
  • IS 800 — Steel
  • IS 875 — Loads
  • IS 1893 — Seismic
  • IS 1904 — Foundations
  • IS 13920 — Ductile detailing

Tools

StructBy AI outputs are automated or AI-assisted and must be reviewed by a qualified engineer before anyone relies on them. They are not professional engineering, legal or regulatory advice, and they do not replace a site-specific hazard assessment, a geotechnical investigation or a registered engineer. References to NBC 2016 and the IS codes are summaries and pointers, not the text of those documents, so verify every value and clause against the current NBC and BIS publications before you use it in design or documentation.
