By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Identify a range of different materials that may be found in existing buildings
Demonstrate knowledge of some of the typical defects that might be found in different materials/ages of construction
Ask the right questions and take practical steps to assess an existing structures condition and loading capacities
Address robustness and disproportionate collapse in your designs
Think holistically about reuse as part of a wider sustainability discussion
Graduate to experienced structural engineers looking to build confidence when working on reuse or refurbishment projects.
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.
Rachael De’Ath has more than 20 years of design experience, working for Arup and more recently Marbas as well as 3 years lecturing at the University of Bristol teaching design and has continued her role as a visiting lecture. She has a broad range of experience but prefers to work on existing buildings where she uses her skills and experience to reimagine the existing structure into something new. She was named as one of the Women’s Engineering Society’s ‘Top 50 female engineers’ in 2018 and is an active member of her local IStructE branch committee.

Providing structural engineers with the latest practical tools and guidance to enable the reuse of existing structures, structural materials and components.
The course provides a practical introduction to data acquisition for structural condition monitoring and for use in live asset management projects.
This course equips practicing engineers to undertake the full structural design of a building, including designing a robust building to avoid disproportionate collapse.
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 one-day 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 online course introduces simple structural concepts that will enable structural engineers to design more effective, efficient and elegant structures.
This popular course offers a series of interactive sessions, supplemented by individual study. It is designed to empower participants with the skills and knowledge needed to design structures that achieve net-zero emissions.
This course delivers practical advice through the use of worked examples on dynamic analysis, conceptual design for earthquake resistance and seismic design of structural elements to Eurocode 8. Emphasis is placed on concrete and steel buildings although the concepts are widely applicable.
