This project investigates the application of remote sensing technologies within the specific operational context of emergency urban search and rescue (USAR) efforts post-disaster.
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 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 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.
