Attendance to Eurocode 8: an introduction to seismic design of buildings is strongly recommended
Prof Costas Georgopoulos is a distinguished academic and practising engineer with many years’ unique multi-sector experience in seismic design, including conventional buildings in Greece and state-of-the-art structures in the UK (Trident Submarine Refitting Facility at Rosyth and Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station). Costas sits on the BSI B/525/8 committee on EC8 and the IStructE Seismic & Dynamic Events Panel and he is the author of the Extracts to EC8 and Commentary to EC8 for Eurocodes Plus for BSI and, co-author of Examples for the seismic design of steel and concrete buildings to EC8 for IStructE.
Dr Hau is a Senior Lecturer with the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Awarded the NUS President Graduate Fellowship in 2002, his PhD thesis focused on far-field effects of long-distance earthquake tremors from Sumatra to buildings in Singapore. He is a practicing qualified engineer who specializes in Buildings & Infrastructure Projects (including bridges) with more than 15 years of experience. He is co-author of the IStructE’s Examples for the seismic design of steel and concrete buildings to Eurocode 8.

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.
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 one-day, online advanced practical workshop teachs complex timber engineering through worked examples. It encourages problem-solving through teaching tools and group discussion.
This one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
This course provides an introduction to structural steelwork design to Eurocode 3 for building design.
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 course presents practical guidance on key aspects of preliminary scheme development and detailed scheme design in structural steelwork.
