This two-day course extends the principles developed in the Understanding structural behaviour course. It covers more complex real structures and failures, and the important skills of approximate analysis for checking computational output and member sizing.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, attendees should be able to:

  • Review the modelling process

  • Recognise the fundamental behaviour of structural elements

  • Determine initial sizes of most structural elements in steel and reinforced concrete including foundations and stability systems

  • Develop overall scheme designs for building structures

  • Appreciate overall structural equilibrium

  • Interpret and explain the behaviour of real structures

  • Reduce complex structures to simpler forms

  • Avoid dependence on computer analysis and design

  • Learn from real case studies

Intended for

  • Graduate engineer 

  • Mid-career engineer

  • Senior engineers/Team leader/Manager
