Chris O’Regan is a chartered structural engineer with over 35 years of experience working in the field. He draws from his experience developing structures for a large variety of buildings, ranging from music hall venues through to stadia and everything in between. Chris is keen to share the knowledge on the topic of lateral stability that he has accrued over the years to ensure it is transferred to other practicing structural engineers. He is the author of the Technical Guidance Notes that were published in The Structural Engineer.

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 webinar delves into hollow-pot construction, a structural typology found in high-risk buildings, addressing their risks and how to assess them.
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 one day, online course presents practical guidance on key aspects of preliminary scheme development and detailed scheme design in structural steelwork.
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 course gives guidance on the key design and constructability considerations when planning the construction of deep (greater than 5 meters) basements. It covers various types of embedded walls for both bottom-up and top-down construction.
The course takes place as a series of two-hour interactive sessions over four weeks supported by independent study. The course introduces a number of drawing techniques and systems. It will increase your confidence in your sketching abilities.
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.
