Identify and exploit vertical and horizontal stability systems
Graduate engineer
This course has been developed to explain and examine the concepts of lateral stability of building structures. Its principal purpose is to address the concept of lateral stability to aid those who wish to gain greater understanding of this aspect of structural engineering. However, it should be noted that this course was not developed to act as direct guidance for those seeking to attempt the Incorporated or Membership examinations.
Chris O’Regan is a chartered structural engineer with over 35 years of experience working in the field. He draws from his experience developing structures for a large variety of buildings, ranging from music hall venues through to stadia and everything in between. Chris is keen to share the knowledge on the topic of lateral stability that he has accrued over the years to ensure it is transferred to other practicing structural engineers. He is the author of the Technical Guidance Notes that were published in The Structural Engineer.

This guidance covers the general philosophy of a building's stability system; specifically, framed vertical bracing.
This guidance covers shear walls; assisting structural engineers in the development of shear wall systems, and illustrates the choices available in their design and construction.
This guidance provides an overview of moment frame design; as well as information on buckling stability, plastic analysis, analytical modeling of joints, simplified analysis methods, and moment frames in application.
A four-part series focusing specifically on lateral load resisting systems, triangulated (framed) vertical bracing, shear walls and moment frames.
Guidance on incorporating structural robustness into designs for low-rise building structures.

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 one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
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 two-day course provides participants with an understanding of the basic principles of temporary works design.
This two-part webinar series explores how structural engineers can apply inspection, assessment, and diagnostic techniques to identify degradation mechanisms and address risks that compromise the performance and safety of marine structures.
This one day, online course presents practical guidance on key aspects of preliminary scheme development and detailed scheme design in structural steelwork.
This course provides an introduction to structural steelwork design to Eurocode 3 for building design.
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 one-day, online advanced practical workshop teachs complex timber engineering through worked examples. It encourages problem-solving through teaching tools and group discussion.
