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 one-day, online advanced practical workshop teachs complex timber engineering through worked examples. It encourages problem-solving through teaching tools and group discussion.
This interactive online course shares current state-of-the-art frameworks for the adoption of resilience-based design in professional practice, demonstrating advantages compared to a traditional prescriptive design and providing examples of how they benefit the client.
This course provides an introduction to structural steelwork design to Eurocode 3 for building design.
This webinar delves into hollow-pot construction, a structural typology found in high-risk buildings, addressing their risks and how to assess them.
This half-day, online course covers the methods by which the lateral stability of a building structure is achieved.
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 one day, online course presents practical guidance on key aspects of preliminary scheme development and detailed scheme design in structural steelwork.
Mass timber design for structural engineers — from fire performance to structural stability, this comprehensive three-part webinar series explores the engineering of mass timber structures.
