Structural designers must explore new practices and materials, as they question the design codes and navigate through a rapidly changing world. Designers must consider new approaches and the ethical need to question the future. This webinar will share insights from the authors of the publication. Which is not a “how to” but a “what if,” founded in the theory of reliability and risk-based design.
Hear from representatives of the author group as they discuss:
The ethical need to consider the future of structural design
Why we need to better understand uncertainty
Regenerative design and new materials
The reuse of buildings and bits of buildings
Alix has 14 years of academic experience and has focused mainly on ethical aspects of climate policy and more recently just transition, focusing both on the global and local scale. She also sits on the Bristol Advisory Committee on Climate Change and is the Associate Director for Impact and Innovation at the Cabot Institute for the Environment. Alix works across disciplines, and her main focus has been on the importance of inclusive decision making and ensuring that the most affected are heard.
Flavia earned her PhD in Seismic Risk from the University of Naples in 2012 and became a Lecturer at the University of Bristol in 2014. Flavia has been working over the last fifteen years in earthquake engineering and disaster risk reduction. Over the last five years, she has been part of international programmes related to risk and resilience in different countries. Her expertise spans from nonlinear modelling of concrete structures, soil-structure interaction, large-scale experimental testing, structural reliability.
James worked on a wide variety of projects and has designed in a variety of materials, including steel, concrete, timber, earth, straw and glass. In 2015, James moved full-time into academia, where he teaches structural design with a focus on low-carbon solutions. He has co-written Conceptual Design of Buildings and Designing Timber Structures.
Raffaele received the BSc degree in Civil Engineering and the MSc in Structural and Geotechnical Engineering from the University of Naples Federico II (Italy) in 2007 and 2009, respectively. In 2013, he was awarded a PhD in Materials Engineering and Structures at the University of Naples Federico II (Italy). His research interests are broad and multidisciplinary and cover a wide range of academic fields, including structural reliability, engineering seismology, earthquake engineering, tsunami engineering, flood risk, and decision-making under uncertainty, covering several countries around the world.

This practical course helps structural engineers to confidently approach a refurbishment or reuse project, looking at the initial steps to understand an existing structure, how to apply basic conservation principles and the design implications and considerations.
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.
