Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) Investigation and Assessment – Further Guidance

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 one-day online course introduces timber as an engineering material, with a focus on its use in historic structures. It covers non-destructive techniques for condition assessment, and strategies for the reuse of heritage structures.

This course demonstrates how significant blast resilience and resistance is possible with careful design, planning and detailing of a structure.

This course establishes good practice in the design of reinforced concrete structures. Through practical exercises, it will cover concept, design, flat slabs and finite element analysis.

This one-day online course introduces timber as an engineering material, with a focus on its use in historic structures. It covers non-destructive techniques for condition assessment and strategies for the reuse of heritage structures.

This webinar provides an overview of common types of corrosion of concrete buildings built in 1950 – 1985 and explores ways to manage deterioration and enhance fire resistance.

Comprehensive guidance on the identification and rectification of subsidence damage caused by foundation and subsoil movement.

Repairing, restoring, and upgrading concrete structures has become ever more important as the world, construction sector and concrete industry face the challenge of reducing their carbon footprints. The reuse of buildings and structures is being encouraged to reduce waste, as well as the ‘embodied’ carbon. However, many older buildings and structures do not comply with current Standards or require additional load capacity. To keep them in use and extend their life, some form of strengthening is usually required.

This webinar examines best practices and methods to carry out cost-effective investigations and surveys of ageing concrete buildings built between 1950 and 1985.
