Academic/Researcher
Prof Costas Georgopoulos is a distinguished academic and practising engineer with many years’ unique multi-sector experience in seismic design, including conventional buildings in Greece and state-of-the-art structures in the UK (Trident Submarine Refitting Facility at Rosyth and Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station). Costas sits on the BSI B/525/8 committee on EC8 and the IStructE Seismic & Dynamic Events Panel and he is the author of the Extracts to EC8 and Commentary to EC8 for Eurocodes Plus for BSI and, co-author of Examples for the seismic design of steel and concrete buildings to EC8 for IStructE.

This one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
This course provides an introduction to structural steelwork design to Eurocode 3 for building design.
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 course covers aspects of the geotechnical and structural design of spread and piled foundations. It is tailored for engineers working in small practices. The content is compliant with Eurocodes 2 and 7, with opportunities for comparisons with relevant British Standards.
This course provides participants with detailed knowledge of masonry design to Eurocode 6 Standards and the National Annexes.
This one-day online course is designed to help those using structural aluminium. It introduces basic considerations as well as giving guidance on using Eurocode 9 (2023 version), including upcoming updates to the 2nd generation. It includes design examples.
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 half-day, online course covers the methods by which the lateral stability of a building structure is achieved.
