By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Review the modelling process
Recognise the fundamental behaviour of structural elements
Appreciate overall structural equilibrium
Describe the behaviour of 3D structures I nterpret and explain the behaviour of real structures
Reduce complex structures to simpler forms
Comprehend the approximate analysis of sub-frames for member sizing
Describe the case studies: Swiss Re HQ, London, and Centre Pompidou, Paris
Recently qualified graduates under training who wish to improve their skills in structural modelling. The course will also be of interest to experienced engineers who are returning to the structural design office. The course is excellent preparation for The Institution of Structural Engineers Chartered Membership Exam.
Attendance at the Understanding structural behaviour course is a recommended prerequisite.
Dr David Brohn CEng FIStructE teaches structural engineering in the UK and internationally. David pioneered the ‘Brohn Test’ in the early 1970s, leading the way in evidence-based tracking of levels of understanding structural behaviour amongst graduates. He was awarded The Institution of Structural Engineers President’s Award in recognition of his visionary approach to the education of students and graduates.
Tim Lai is founder of The Structural Exam and Operations Director for New Paradigms. He teaches budding graduates in the UK and internationally about structural engineering, finance and entrepreneurship. Formerly an Engineering Leadership Award winner with the Royal Academy of Engineering, he worked at Shell as an Offshore Structural Engineer before venturing into entrepreneurship. Tim is also an accredited journalist writing at Forbes.com.

A series of two-hour interactive sessions taking place over three weeks to help experienced practitioners take their conceptual design skills to the next level. There will be a focus on understanding client needs, generating, and iteratively developing ideas, effective decision making in design, and managing design teams.
This popular course is delivered as a series of interactive online sessions supported by individual study. It provides a theoretical framework for understanding conceptual design in the context of structural engineering.
This course introduces a number of drawing techniques and systems. It will increase your confidence in your sketching abilities.
Provides a theoretical framework for rapid problem solving concept calculations
This popular course includes guidance on the design, stability, safety and performance of tall buildings.
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 interactive online course will share current state-of-the-art frameworks for the adoption of resilience-based design in professional practice, demonstrating advantages compared to a traditional prescriptive design and providing examples of how they benefit the client.
