By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Describe the layout and structure of a robust building and explain what makes a building vulnerable
Summarise which legislation is relevant to disproportionate collapse and identify key clauses
Classify buildings into their types, with respect to building use and size
Outline different approaches for achieving robustness
Determine a strategy for robustness compliance for buildings of different material types, use and size
Have an appreciation of fire protection of different building materials and how fire safety plays a role in all building design
Newly chartered or almost chartered engineers who are independently doing the outline, scheme and detailed design of buildings.
Gavin Knowles is a lecturer at the University of Bath and prior to this has worked in practice as a Chartered structural engineer. His previous projects including many education and office buildings, along with conservation and refurbishment projects, interweaved with diverse structures, such as rammed chalk-walled houses, recycled material stages at WOMAD Festival and the odd sculpture. He now teaches Structural Design, Conservation and leads on student design projects.

This course provides guidance on specific aspects of demolition and refurbishment from an engineering perspective whilst addressing safety, environmental and sustainability influences.
This one-day, online course covers the design of common structural elements to Eurocode 2.
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 one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
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.
This popular one-day, online course offers guidance on the design, stability, safety and performance of tall buildings.
This two-day, online course extends the principles developed in the Understanding Structural Behaviour course. It covers more complex real structures and failures; and the important skills of approximate analysis for checking computer output and member sizing.
This two-day, online course provides participants with an understanding of the basic principles of temporary works design.
