By the end of the course, attendees should be able to:
List the considerations necessary when deciding to design in structural aluminium rather than in steel
Determine how to select the most appropriate aluminium alloys for a structural application
Examine the pros and cons of different material forms and jointing methods
Perform limit state calculations in accordance with the Eurocode
Gain knowledge of upcoming updates to the 2nd generation of Eurocode 9.
Consider serviceability limit state in the design.
Design of simple aluminium joints.
Account for the mechanical properties of aluminium at elevated temperatures

Dr Meini Su is a Senior Lecturer in Structural Engineering at the University of Manchester. She is serving in the British Standard Institution (BSI) B/525/9 - Structural use of aluminium. She studied at The University of Hong Kong and Imperial College London. Her principal research interests lie in the areas of structural testing, numerical modelling and the development of design guidance for aluminium alloy structures and reinforced concrete structures in marine environment.
Dr Gabriel Barros dos Santos is a Senior Lecturer in Structural Engineering at the University of Hertfordshire. His research focuses on the structural behaviour of metallic structures, such as made of carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminium, and its components through experiments, numerical modelling and probabilistic assessments. He is an active member of standardisation committees such as BSI B/525/9 in structural use of aluminium. Prior to academia, Gabriel practiced as a structural engineer focused on the design of metallic structures for floating offshore platforms

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 course delivers practical advice through the use of worked examples on dynamic analysis, conceptual design for earthquake resistance and seismic design of structural elements to Eurocode 8. Emphasis is placed on concrete and steel buildings although the concepts are widely applicable.
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.
