Topics covered include:
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 technical lecture explores the core principles of regenerative design and how the utilisation of site excavation for load bearing purposes can transform the construction industry. The lecture highlights earth as the only truly local construction material.
The Institution of Structural Engineers’ (IStructE) new guidance focuses on the design of permanent bamboo structures. This new design guide is a significant milestone in realising the benefits of bamboo to widen its adoption.

This Manual provides much needed design guidance for the structural use of bamboo, to help this sustainable material be used in accordance with ISO 22156.
This technical lecture explored the current state-of-the-art in the structural use of bamboo around the world, including codes, guides and barriers, and where the sector may be heading.
This article introduces the design package for a modular FRP-steel hybrid road bridge, including the lessons learned from previous FRP bridges and how they underpinned the project requirements.
Bringing together the next generation of construction leaders, this conference explores the future of structural engineering, emphasising collaboration and the use of digital tools.
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.
