By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Appreciate how forces due to gravity and other effects are resisted in a building’s structure
Demonstrate a knowledge of the tools available to the structural engineer to counter these effects
Appreciate the concept of efficient design and its impact on embodied energy
Appreciate finite element analysis methods
Develop an appreciation of key engineering concepts and terminology
Other built environment professionals and engineers, especially those who are working on High-Risk Residential Buildings (HRRBs) that fall within the Building Safety Act 2022
Those who might need an understanding of structural engineering in their day-to-day job, but are not trained structural engineers
Chris O’Regan has been working in the field of structural engineering for over 35 years and draws from his experience from developing structures for a large variety of buildings ranging from music halls through to stadia and everything in between. Chris created this course to highlight the need for greater integration in the design of buildings in the wake of Building Safety Act 2022. Chris has been actively involved with advising construction professionals on the impact the Building Safety Act will have in how it will impact the method of design of buildings.

This half-day in-person course provides guidance to early-career structural engineers to develop a better understanding of geotechnical engineering and use that knowledge to enhance and promote sustainable design.
This two-day course is an essential introduction to the conceptual design process for bridges. It covers two key areas: selecting a structural form to suit the constraints of a site and arranging materials and components to meet the demands of the structure in an elegant and logical way.
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 half-day online course introduces simple structural concepts that will enable structural engineers to design more effective, efficient and elegant structures.
This course provides an introduction to structural steelwork design to Eurocode 3 for building design.
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 course establishes good practice in the design of reinforced concrete structures. Through practical exercises, it will cover concept, design, flat slabs and finite element analysis.
The course introduces a number of drawing techniques and systems. It will increase your confidence in your sketching abilities. The course takes place as a series of two-hour interactive sessions over four weeks supported by independent study.
This one-day, online advanced practical workshop will teach complex timber engineering through worked examples. It encourages problem-solving through teaching tools and group discussion.
