This course introduces advanced topics in timber design to Eurocode 5, including fasteners and connectors.
This course offers an introduction to the basics of timber design to Eurocode 5.
This course introduces timber as an engineering material, with a focus on its use in historic structures. It covers non-destructive techniques for condition assessment and strategies for the reuse of heritage structures.
Share your knowledge of modern uses of timber.
This course introduces a number of drawing techniques and systems. It will increase your confidence in your sketching abilities.
This practical course introduces engineers to various computational design methods and systems. You will experiment with visual programming (using Grasshopper) and text-based programming (using C#). You will see how automation can improve engineers’ workflows. No previous experience is required.
This half-day online course will equip self-employed engineers with an understanding of the commercial value of their Intellectual Property. With practical training on how you can protect your design copyright, business name, confidentiality and inventions.
The aim of this course is to help attendees use structural aluminium. It introduces basic considerations as well as giving guidance on using Eurocode 9, including design examples.
