Talk about ductile detailing for seismic design of structures.

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. Participants will examine case studies of structural and non-structural failures as a result of fire.

This interactive online course will share current state-of-the-art frameworks for the adoption of resilience-based design in professional practice, demonstrating advantages compared to a traditional prescriptive design and providing examples of how they benefit the client.

This course takes place as a series of two-hour interactive sessions over three weeks. It introduces EN 1991-1-4 for determining wind actions on structures, outlines the basic principles behind the code and covers each step of the procedure for calculating the wind loads on structures. Attention is given to important features introduced by the UK NA.

This popular annual conference brings together the next generation of construction leaders. This year’s conference focuses on resilient structural engineering and making a positive impact.

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 course equips practicing engineers to undertake the full structural design of a building, including designing a robust building to avoid disproportionate collapse. The course covers designing buildings of Class 1 – 2B and alterations/change of use of existing buildings.

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.

Discover how you can best engage in humanitarian and international development work and how the sector is addressing the climate emergency.

Develop powerful tools for leading and influencing the people you work with. This practical course, delivered as 5 three-hour workshops across 10 weeks, aims to develop awareness about yourself and your impact on others, helping you to share your expertise and influence the direction of a project.

Hear case studies from around the world showcasing how structural engineers can positively work in humanitarian and international development contexts

Miriam Graham, structural engineer at Arup, reflects on her work in the humanitarian and international development sector and being part of the IStructE's HID panel.

Miriam Graham introduces a new tool from the IStructE Humanitarian and International Development Panel which aims to direct those working in, or curious about, the sector to key guidance and skills training.

The IStructE's Humanitarian and International Development Panel spoke to MHA Structural Design's Marco Conti about College Amadou Hampate Ba in Niamey, Niger.
