This report covers:
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.
A guided walk of London's greatest ever downpour.
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 interactive online course shares 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 talk examines the structural design and seismic resilience of the new Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) building, highlighting its exposed-concrete system, triple pendulum isolation, and construction challenges associated with a continuous, joint-free structure.
A lecture on how property lifting can address the problem of house flooding.
A technical talk on remedial measures for sinkholes.
This two-part webinar series explores how structural engineers can apply inspection, assessment, and diagnostic techniques to identify degradation mechanisms and address risks that compromise the performance and safety of marine structures.
This presentation follows three stages commonly encountered after major disasters.
This course delivers key advice and guidance on seismic design of structures to Eurocode 8 as well as the application of the Eurocode. Emphasis is placed on reinforced concrete buildings although the concepts are widely applicable.
This lecture explores the delivery of an award‑winning, earthquake‑resistant project in rural Rwanda, examining context‑specific challenges of working with local materials in a seismic zone while building skills, supply chains, and lasting community impact.
This recourse supports the Institution’s Pan-African Structural Engineering Knowledge Partnership.
This blog, from Yasemin D. Aktas (EEFIT Management Committee Chair), discusses the importance of publishing mission journals which can provide a real-time account of the post-disaster recovery process.
This lecture showcased how the annual grants supported two short-term projects that benefit earthquake disaster mitigation and post disaster reconnaissance efforts.
