By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Understand what RAAC is and its history
Know RAAC’s material characteristics, some research into RAAC as a material, when and where it was used and the potential defects
Identify RAAC in buildings
Learn about some non-destructive testing and surveying techniques and their appropriateness and effectiveness
Describe actions to be taken if RAAC is found and the role of the engineer in assessment, covering safe working practices in carrying out surveys
Carry out detailed RAAC surveys and assess its condition and risk based on IStructE guidance
Understand typical remedial work designs and other methods to reduce the ongoing risk of RAAC
Graduate engineer
Mid-career engineer
Senior engineer/Team leader/Manager
This course builds on the on-demand RAAC essentials course. It is recommended that you watch the on-demand course before attending.
Learn how to identify, assess, manage and remediate reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) defects in buildings.
Chris is a Professor in Construction Engineering and Materials and a member of the Senior Leadership Team for the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering at Loughborough University. He currently leads the NHS-funded RAAC national research project, and is a founder member of the IStructE RAAC Study and the CLC RAAC Industry Response Groups. He has produced RAAC-related CPD webinars for the IStructE, RICS, CIOB and the Concrete Society, and his RAAC work has been featured on the BBC, Sky, and ITV, and in all national newspapers.
A Fellow of the Institution of Structural Engineers, over the past 5 years, Matthew has developed strategies for assessing, remediating, and monitoring major hospital RAAC installations, as well as the wider public and commercial sectors. In recent years Matthew has helped develop the Institution of Structural Engineers’ RAAC guidance.

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 focuses 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 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 is designed to provide structural engineers with a greater understanding of fire safety, key legislation, and the principles of risk analysis in order to ensure that adequate structural performance in fire is achieved. Participants will examine case studies of structural and non-structural failures as a result of fire.
Exploring the benefits and principles of strengthening historic concrete structures using carbon fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) and how these are being implemented in the upcoming Eurocode 2, second generation.
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 shows engineers how to arrive at a qualitative solution to both create a structure and check computational results.
This sponsored industry briefing by StruSoft discovers how to enhance your concrete design by integrating modern and user-friendly non-linear plastic analysis methods. Gain insights into effectively navigating common pitfalls in concrete design, ultimately aiming to create structurally efficient buildings.
This one-day online course introduces timber as an engineering material, with a focus on its use in historic structures. It covers non-destructive techniques for condition assessment, and strategies for the reuse of heritage structures.
This two-day, in-person course provides participants with an understanding of the basic principles of temporary works design.
