J-PVRR: Myanmar earthquake 28 March 2025

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.

Join us for a special launch webinar introducing Pan-African structural engineering knowledge partnership.

This lecture introduces the Tomorrow’s Cities Decision Support Environment, a participatory, people-centered approach to risk-informed decision making to help minimise future urban risk creation.

Structural engineers will require and enforce specifications for materials like steel and concrete but will rarely apply the same standards to structural isolation bearings. Here, Adam Fox, engineer and director of structural isolation specialist Mason UK, explains why overlooking bearing design means introducing an unacceptable level of risk.

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.
