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.

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 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 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 webinar is the first in a two-part series on product testing for structural engineers, focusing on clarifying professional responsibilities and their practical application in the design and construction process.

This practical course helps structural engineers to confidently approach a refurbishment or reuse project, looking at the initial steps to understand an existing structure, how to apply basic conservation principles and the design implications and considerations.

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.

SER was established for a safer and more efficient structural design process.

The catastrophic 7.7 magnitude earthquake that happened on 28 March in Myanmar has caused substantial damage, impacting people over a large area and causing significant loss of life across the region.

The industry must pull together and urgently develop new vibration serviceability guidance if we are to realise a future of lighter-weight, lower-carbon structures, argues Gillian Browning, Head of Structural Dynamics at Buro Happold.

This article explores the various benefits that can be obtained by incorporating a supplementary damping system to reduce footfall, wind and seismic vibration, and dynamic structural response.

This article tackles the challenge of reducing embodied carbon in the seismic design of new buildings.

This month's report discusses the structural design of a single storey, timber-framed house in New Zealand.
