By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Appreciate how forces due to gravity and other effects are resisted in a building’s structure
Demonstrate a knowledge of the tools available to the structural engineer to counter these effects
Appreciate the concept of efficient design and its impact on embodied energy
Appreciate finite element analysis methods
Develop an appreciation of key engineering concepts and terminology
Other built environment professionals and engineers
Chris O’Regan has been working in the field of structural engineering for over 35 years and draws from his experience from developing structures for a large variety of buildings ranging from music halls through to stadia and everything in between. Chris created this course to highlight the need for greater integration in the design of buildings in the wake of Building Safety Act 2022. Chris has been actively involved with advising construction professionals on the impact the Building Safety Act will have in how it will impact the method of design of buildings.

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 is an essential introduction to the conceptual design process for bridges. It covers two key areas: selecting a structural form to suit the constraints of a site and arranging materials and components to meet the demands of the structure in an elegant and logical way.
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.
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 equips attendees with practical knowledge about structural design with bamboo stems (culms). The course considers aspects of concept design, detailed design and durability by design.
This online course introduces simple structural concepts that will enable structural engineers to design more effective, efficient and elegant structures.
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 half-day, online course covers the methods by which the lateral stability of a building structure is achieved.
This one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
