This webinar recording is the last in a four part series designed to take you through the concept design process.
Presenters guide you through the process of designing a building rapidly using pencil, paper, a few books and key resources.
During the webinar recording we will:
-
Highlight some industry tips and tricks
-
Encourage you to create 'cheat sheets' based on your own experience
-
Help you to consider the types of question to ask and give you the confidence to answer them quickly
-
An understanding of the difference between rapid concept calculations and detailed design calculations
-
Useful frameworks for rapid calculations using typical structural design problems
-
Advice on using your own experience to inform your rapid design calculations
-
Learn why pencil and paper can be more useful than a computer for detailed calculations
-
Help and support in structuring your resources in preparation for the IStructE CM exam
Graduates who are keen to learn more about conceptual design. It will be particularly helpful for anyone preparing for the IStructE CM exam.
