An introduction to four structural concepts and how their implementation can lead to physical measure for creating desirable distributions of internal forces in structures which can generate more efficient designs.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, you should be able to:

  • ​Identify and analyse four key structural concepts and their implementation

  • Recognise intuitive ways to interpret structural behaviour

  • Appreciate innovate engineering solutions for reducing deflections

  • Identify physical measures embedded in existing structures which effectively reduce deflections 

  • Recognise the interaction between structural concepts and design practice

Intended for

  • Graduate engineer

  • Mid-career engineer

Trainer

Dr Tianjian Ji

Dr Tianjian Ji, FIStructE, is Reader in Structural Engineering at the University of Manchester. He developed "Seeing and Touching Structural Concepts" for gaining an intuitive understanding by using simple physical models and appropriate practical examples. He is the author of two books: Understanding and Using Structural Concepts and Structural Design against Deflection.
