Kenneth Severn Award 2023: How should structural engineers ensure designs remain constructible?

This two-day course extends the principles developed in the Understanding structural behaviour course. It covers more complex real structures and failures; and the important skills of approximate analysis for checking computational output and member sizing.

As the field of engineering continues to evolve, new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and language models are becoming increasingly important tools for structural engineers. AI and language models can provide many benefits to structural engineers, but they also come with potential risks that must be considered.

This blog discusses the generation gap within structural engineering and offers a framework in the form of three different perspectives (the attitude gap, the approach gap, and the learning gap) to achieve better understanding and more effective teamwork.
