Topics covered include:
This one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
This course gives guidance on the key design and constructability considerations when planning the construction of deep (greater than 5 meters) basements. It covers various types of embedded walls for both bottom-up and top-down construction.
This course supports the practising designer with composite design to Eurocode 4. It enables an understanding of the essential requirements of this code in structural design and how the code operates.
This course equips attendees with practical knowledge about structural design with bamboo stems (culms). The course considers aspects of concept design, detailed design and durability by design.
This course introduces timber connections in detail and several other advanced topics in timber design to Eurocode 5.
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.
One of the most popular ways to connect bamboo culms is to use dowel-type fasteners, including dowels, bolts, screws, nails and similar. This worked example presents a connection design using screws and metal plates, similar to a common connection method in timber structures.
Roger Johnson, Wojciech Lorenc and Wolfgang Kurz provide a brief overview of a new part to Eurocode 4, covering composite dowels, which is currently in development for planned publication in 2026.
This text presents a range of emerging materials, both natural and man-made which, in the right circumstances, can offer significant advantages over traditional materials.
