By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Differentiate between reliability, risk and resilience when quantifying structural performance
Appreciate the role of robustness and resilience in the design of structures
Understand the role of aleatory and epistemic uncertainties in the design of structures
Decide which design situations are best suited for the adoption of performance-based approaches, and justify their use in practice
Break down the application of performance-based design into sequential stages; from assessing the relevant hazards to estimating the resulting losses
Recommend a range of structural and non-structural solutions to enhance resilience and robustness

Prof. Caroline Field is a Partner at PA Consulting and leads their resilience business. Caroline has a background in asset and infrastructure resilience with over 26 years of professional experience including 12 years in counter terrorism, blast mitigation and physical security and 7 years in earthquake engineering and dynamics.
Dr Andre Jesus is a Chartered Structural Engineer (Portugal) and a lecturer in structural engineering at Loughborough University, UK. Andre has research expertise in structural dynamics, including structural health monitoring of bridges and timber buildings, human-structure interaction effects with application for modal testing, and modelling of railway infrastructure under high-speed trains passage. One common aspect throughout his research is the use of advanced probabilistic methods to describe different sources of uncertainty, which inevitably undermine data interpretation and damage detection strategies.

This half-day, online course covers the methods by which the lateral stability of a building structure is achieved.
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-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 two-day course provides participants with an understanding of the basic principles of temporary works design.
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 half-day in-person course provides guidance to early-career structural engineers to develop a better understanding of geotechnical engineering and use that knowledge to enhance and promote sustainable design.
