By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Recognise the characteristics of building fires and understand the effect on structural materials
Understand the principles of relevant UK fire safety legislation and the responsibilities of structural engineers
Classify potential hazards
Appreciate various techniques for modelling both fires and the structural behaviour when exposed to such fires

Ian Burgess and Roger Plank started their research on structural fire engineering in 1985 at the University of Sheffield, simulating the behaviour of isolated steel elements in furnace tests. Their numerical approaches developed rapidly and they played a key role in the Cardington fire test programme, leading to the development of the award-winning software Vulcan. This has been used extensively on real design projects for modelling the 3-dimensional behaviour of steel-framed, composite and concrete structures in fire, including tensile membrane action. They have also studied the robustness of frames, conducting unique high-temperature experimental work at Sheffield on connection component behaviour and on model-scale testing of concrete slabs. Their research was recognised through a major award from the ASCE, and their Vulcan software won two national prizes in 2005 from the British Computer Society. Their research group generated 35 PhD graduates, and the research work is now being taken further by their successors at the University of Sheffield.

This course provides guidance on specific aspects of demolition and refurbishment from an engineering perspective, while addressing safety, environmental and sustainability influences.
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 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.
This one-day, online advanced practical workshop teachs complex timber engineering through worked examples. It encourages problem-solving through teaching tools and group discussion.
A hybrid conference on building confidence, managing risk, ensuring safety.
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 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 one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
