Spotlight on Structures (August 2021)

This two-day, online course introduces seismic design of civil engineering structures. It builds on the basics of structural dynamics and engineering seismology. The course focuses on seismic loading and design codes, conceptual seismic design principles and analysis for seismic loading, and design and detailing of structural members.

This CPD module, sponsored by SCIA, examines the analysis and design of steel-and-concrete composite columns.

Chanakya Arya’s fourth edition of Design of Structural Elements provides an introduction to concrete, steel, timber, masonry and composites, but this update seems to omit context around the structural elements, writes Chris O’Regan.
