Structures & Buildings (Including Eurocodes)

The Online Offshore Structures Training course focuses on teaching structural modeling of fixed platforms, including hydrodynamic loading calculations through Morison's equation. Participants will learn to model fixed platforms as 3D structural models using beam elements, check structure compliance, and perform strength checks for yielding, buckling, and fatigue. The course targets engineers and scientists involved in offshore structure design, offering a balance of theory and practice. Expert lecturers cover topics such as wave theories, wave and current loads, and fatigue assessment over a 2-day duration.

The Lightweight Structures Training course focuses on the selection of materials with high strength-weight ratios to create cost-effective, high-performance structures. It emphasizes minimizing weight without significantly increasing fabrication costs, particularly in structural engineering and transport applications. The course covers the use of strong but lightweight materials like aluminium alloys and fibre-reinforced plastics in structures. Targeted at engineers and scientists involved in composite structure design, the program includes lectures on composite materials, analysis, design, and applications in industrial structures by experienced industry professionals.

The Online Earthquake Structures Training course aims to equip engineers and scientists with the necessary skills to design safer and resilient infrastructures in earthquake-prone areas. The course covers seismic design aspects, risk analysis of structures, and introduces Eurocode 8 guidelines. Participants will study various earthquake hazards, seismic analysis techniques, and design considerations for earthquake-resistant structures. The course is suitable for professionals involved in designing, operating, and assessing onshore and offshore structures. Expert lecturers from diverse engineering backgrounds provide in-depth knowledge and practical insights throughout the program.

The Eurocodes Training course aims to provide practicing engineers with an understanding of structural reliability and Eurocodes, focusing on practical applications for safety assessment of engineering structures. The course covers Eurocodes 1 (action), 2 (Concrete), 3 (steel), and 8 (earthquake), including topics such as reliability-based code development and key techniques. Lectures by Dr. Boulent Imam and Dr. Juan Sagaseta offer insights into Eurocodes, design of concrete and steel structures, and examples for better comprehension. The course targets engineers needing to grasp Eurocodes and reliability-based code development.

This two-day course focuses on the practical application of design principles in structural steelwork. Participants will explore modern design methods, including beams and columns, under various loading conditions. The course aims to equip delegates with the knowledge to design safe and efficient steel structures according to BS5950 standards. Led by a chartered civil engineer, the interactive program includes workshops and tutorials to reinforce learning. Intended for civil and structural engineers, design managers, and staff from contractor, design, and client organizations seeking a hands-on introduction to practical steel design.

This one-day course focuses on transitioning from British Standards to Eurocode 2 for designing concrete structures. It covers key changes, structural behavior, and practical application of the new European design codes, with an emphasis on buildings. The course is intended for experienced Civil and Structural Engineers and aims to enable participants to design basic reinforced concrete structures to Eurocode 2, recognize differences between Eurocode 2 and BS8110, and understand the impact of Eurocodes on UK design practice.

The 2-day course aims to provide a foundational understanding of mixed traffic railways for young engineers and those transitioning into railway engineering. It covers topics such as track failures, maintenance, train operations, and construction. Participants will gain knowledge on track recording, curve design, and off-track maintenance responsibilities. The course also introduces an online knowledge resource developed by rail engineering experts. Suitable for newly qualified engineers entering railway design, project management, construction, or maintenance roles.

This three-day course provides a thorough introduction to designing steel and concrete bridges according to BS5400 and Highway Agency bridge design guide BD37. It covers key design principles, load considerations, global analysis, steel bridge elements, concrete bridge design, and practical design approaches. The course aims to equip civil and structural engineers with the knowledge needed to design bridges with construction, maintenance, and safety in mind. By the end of the course, delegates should be able to identify loadings, understand BS5400 concepts, design bridges, and address fracture and fatigue issues.
