EEFIT return mission to Nepal

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 course provides guidance on specific aspects of demolition and refurbishment from an engineering perspective, while addressing safety, environmental and sustainability influences.

This course is designed to provide structural engineers with a greater understanding of fire safety, key legislation, and the principles of risk analysis in order to ensure that adequate structural performance in fire is achieved. You will examine case studies of structural and non-structural failures as a result of fire.

This course introduces key concepts in vibration serviceability of building floors. Techniques for analysis, design and mitigation for satisfactory vibration performance are outlined, as well as their potential impact on sustainability of floor construction.

This webinar is the first in a two-part series on product testing for structural engineers, focusing on clarifying professional responsibilities and their practical application in the design and construction process.

The catastrophic 7.7 magnitude earthquake that happened on 28 March in Myanmar has caused substantial damage, impacting people over a large area and causing significant loss of life across the region.

The industry must pull together and urgently develop new vibration serviceability guidance if we are to realise a future of lighter-weight, lower-carbon structures, argues Gillian Browning, Head of Structural Dynamics at Buro Happold.

This article explores the various benefits that can be obtained by incorporating a supplementary damping system to reduce footfall, wind and seismic vibration, and dynamic structural response.

This article tackles the challenge of reducing embodied carbon in the seismic design of new buildings.

This month's report discusses the structural design of a single storey, timber-framed house in New Zealand.

This talk will share the past humanitarian projects by Dr Miyamoto on the assessment, response and reconstruction following 2023 Turkiye and 2022 Afghanistan earthquakes.

This project investigates the application of remote sensing technologies within the specific operational context of emergency urban search and rescue (USAR) efforts post-disaster.

Following the 2020 earthquakes in Elazig and Izmir, Turkey, this EEFIT Resrech Grant 2022 winning project aims to construct comprehensive empirical fragility functions for reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame type structures and unreinforced masonry structures, from two damage datasets by employing statistical methods.

Hear from experts leading research into the broader impacts of materials on biodiversity and nature.

This EEFIT Research Grant Winner report integrates data-driven approaches and local perspectives to account for post-earthquake household relocation decision-making within an existing simulation-based framework for policy-related risk-sensitive decision support on future urban development.
