Structures & Buildings (Including Eurocodes)

This three-day training course for Engineers, led by Course Tutor Tony Binns, covers a comprehensive range of topics related to concrete properties and composition. Participants will learn about materials such as cements, fly ash, and silica fume, as well as techniques for testing concrete quality and managing concrete on-site. The course includes practical sessions on concrete trials, use of admixtures, and standard tests according to BS EN standards. Participants will also gain insights into concrete specification, quality control, and quality assurance processes.

This three-day course provides a comprehensive introduction to the design of steel, concrete, and composite bridges to Eurocodes. Engineers will learn the principles of Eurocodes, bridge analysis methods, and design of bridge elements. The course aims to help participants understand Eurocode concepts, navigate between relevant codes, and undertake bridge designs according to Eurocodes. It is intended for civil and structural engineers familiar with bridge design to BS5400, seeking knowledge on road and rail bridge design to Eurocodes.

The Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures Training course focuses on practical application of design principles following Eurocode 2. It covers design methods, analysis requirements, and detailing for safe and efficient reinforced concrete structures. The course aims to equip delegates with a broad design capability in reinforced concrete, emphasizing bending, shear, axial resistance, and deflection. The tutor, a chartered civil and structural engineer, leads interactive sessions with worked examples and tutorials. Intended for civil and structural engineers, design managers, and staff from contractor, design, and client organizations.

The one-day course on EN1992 Parts 1-1 & 1-2 focuses on the design of concrete structures according to Eurocode 2. It covers material properties, analysis, ultimate and serviceability limit states design, lightweight concrete, and structural fire design. The course is interactive with practical design problems and tutorial examples. Suitable for project engineers and graduate engineers, it encourages active participation with limited delegate numbers. The course runs from 8 am to 4 pm, providing course notes in a .pdf format, and includes morning coffee, afternoon tea, and a light lunch.

This one-day concrete training course is designed for Foremen and Site Supervisory Personnel. The course covers a range of topics including concrete properties, materials, testing techniques, and management on-site. Participants will engage in practical laboratory exercises and learn about early-age cracking, sampling, and testing procedures. The course aims to equip attendees with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively manage concrete projects. The training is conducted by experienced tutor Tony Binns MCIPD (Chartered) MICT.

The Design and Construction Management Training course aims to familiarize delegates with the management processes necessary for preparing designs for construction projects. The course covers traditional design approaches, good practices in managing design-construction interfaces, and the latest innovations in Integrated Collaborative Design. Sessions include discussions on design sequences, procurement chains, communication, and control. The course duration is one day, with options for onsite closed company courses in various locations.

The Steel Eurocode 3 Training course focuses on the transition from British Standards to Eurocode 3 for designing steel structures. Led by an expert tutor, the course covers key changes, structural behavior, and design philosophies. Aimed at experienced civil and structural engineers, it emphasizes understanding Eurocode notation systems and designing structures accordingly. The one-day Essentials course offers practical guidance through presentations, discussions, and tutorials, highlighting the differences between BS5950 and Eurocode 3.

The Structural Appraisals Training course focuses on helping engineers and professionals in the UK understand and identify classic structural defects in buildings from different periods. Participants will learn to anticipate major defects, recognize causes of structural movement, and prevent failures. The course, led by an experienced Technical Director, covers various building types and materials through real-life case studies. Intended for engineers, architects, surveyors, and others, the program includes topics like structural surveys, movement causes, and specific period-related issues.
