By the end of the course, attendees should be able to:
Describe the principles of basic temporary works design methodologies
Explain temporary loads, potential modes of failure and practical considerations
Calculate concrete pressures and design formwork, falsework and back-propping
Design a simple trench support scheme
Apply basic wind loading and design a site hoarding
Design outrigger spreader pads for mobile cranes
Design a simple needling scheme
Apply the principles behind temporary works for demolition, facade retention and structural propping, basement construction and scaffolding design
Discuss loads and modes of failure
Civil or structural engineering graduates, from contractors to consultants, with some basic understanding of the design process, or those who wish to further their design knowledge and experience
Ray is a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers with over 35 years’ experience in the field of temporary works design and management. He has spent 20 years working for contractors in the UK and abroad and is a member of the committee responsible for revising BS5975 (British Standard for temporary works). Ray is currently a self-employed consultant having formed RKF Consult Ltd in 2007.
This two-day, online course provides participants with an understanding of the basic principles of temporary works design.
This course equips practicing 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 course provides an introduction to structural steelwork design to Eurocode 3 for building design.
This course provides guidance on specific aspects of demolition and refurbishment from an engineering perspective while addressing safety, environmental and sustainability influences.
This course gives guidance on the key considerations when planning the construction of deep basements. It covers using both embedded wall bottom-up and top-down construction in accordance with Eurocodes 2 and 7.
This course demonstrates how significant blast resilience and resistance is possible with careful design, planning and detailing of a structure.
This course takes place as a series of two-hour interactive sessions over three weeks. It introduces EN 1991-1-4 for determining wind actions on structures, outlines the basic principles behind the code and covers each step of the procedure for calculating the wind loads on structures. Attention is given to important features introduced by the UK NA.
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.
