This two-day course provides participants with an understanding of the basic principles of temporary works design.
This two-day, in-person course provides participants with an understanding of the basic principles of temporary works 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 two-day course shows engineers how to arrive at a qualitative solution to both create a structure and check computational results.
This course equips practicing engineers to undertake the full structural design of a building, including designing a robust building to avoid disproportionate collapse.
