By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Differentiate between reliability, risk and resilience when quantifying structural performance
Appreciate the role of robustness and resilience in the design of structures
Understand the role of aleatory and epistemic uncertainties in the design of structures
Decide which design situations are best suited for the adoption of performance-based approaches, and justify their use in the professional practice
Break down the application of performance-based design into sequential stages, from assessing the relevant hazards to estimating the resulting losses
Recommend a range of structural and non-structural solutions to enhance resilience and robustness
Practising civil and structural engineers who are keen to achieve resilience and robustness in structural design beyond the application of prescriptive codes of practice. It will also be of interest to those from other construction disciplines who wish to obtain a basic introduction to performance-based structural engineering and the concept and practical application of resilience in design practice.
Prof. Caroline Field MSc, CEng MICE, PE is a Partner at PA Consulting and leads their resilience business. Caroline has a background in asset and infrastructure resilience with over 26 years of professional experience including 12 years in counter terrorism, blast mitigation and physical security and 7 years in earthquake engineering and dynamics. She has spent the past 10 years combining this expertise with the social and people aspects of resilience.
Dr Alessandro Palmeri is a Reader in Structural Engineering & Dynamics and the Leader of the Structures & Materials Group within the School of Architecture, Building & Civil Engineering at Loughborough University. His research focuses on applications of structural dynamics, including bridge, earthquake and wind engineering, and probabilistic methods, including reliability and performance-based design.

This one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
This two-day, online course introduces seismic design of civil engineering structures. It builds on the basics of structural dynamics and engineering seismology. The course focusses on seismic loading and design codes, conceptual seismic design principles and analysis for seismic loading, and design and detailing of structural members.
This course equips practising engineers to undertake the full structural design of a building, including designing a robust building to avoid disproportionate collapse. The course covers designing buildings of Class 1 – 2B and alterations/change of use of existing buildings.
This one-day, online course covers the design of common structural elements to Eurocode 2.
This one-day, online course delivers key advice and guidance on the seismic design of structures to Eurocode 8, as well as the application of the Eurocode. Emphasis is placed on reinforced concrete buildings although the concepts are widely applicable.
This popular one-day, online course offers guidance on the design, stability, safety and performance of tall buildings.
This two-day, online course provides participants with an understanding of the basic principles of temporary works design.
