Ian Firth is a Past President of the Institution of Structural Engineers. He is a world-leading expert in bridge design and construction. During his career, Ian has been involved with the assessment and strengthening of several famous bridges. He is also responsible for the design of many award-winning bridges such as the Swansea Sail Bridge, the Third Way bridge in Taunton and the Destructor Bridge in Bath.

This practical course helps structural engineers to confidently approach a refurbishment or reuse project, looking at the initial steps to understand an existing structure, how to apply basic conservation principles and the design implications and considerations.
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 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. You will examine case studies of structural and non-structural failures as a result of fire.
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 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 course covers the design of common structural elements to Eurocode 2. Participants will be introduced to concrete material properties and learn about designing for durability and fire.
This course delivers key advice and guidance on seismic design of structures to Eurocode 8 as well as the application of the Eurocode. Emphasis is placed on reinforced concrete buildings although the concepts are widely applicable.
