Attendance to Eurocode 8: an introduction to seismic design of buildings is strongly recommended
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.
Dr Hau is a Senior Lecturer with the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Awarded the NUS President Graduate Fellowship in 2002, his PhD thesis focused on far-field effects of long-distance earthquake tremors from Sumatra to buildings in Singapore. He is a practising qualified engineer who specialises in Buildings & Infrastructure Projects (including bridges) with more than 15 years of experience. He is co-author of the IStructE’s Examples for the seismic design of steel and concrete buildings to Eurocode 8.

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 one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
This course provides participants with detailed knowledge of masonry design to Eurocode 6 Standards and the National Annexes.
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 delivers key advice and guidance on seismic design of structures to Eurocode 8 as well as the application of the Eurocode. Emphasis is placed on reinforced concrete buildings although the concepts are widely applicable.
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 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 half-day course is tailored for engineers operating within the domestic and small commercial sectors. It aims to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of specific contractual and legal challenges they may encounter. Additionally, it highlights common legal pitfalls that can be mitigated through proper awareness and understanding.
