Concrete

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.

This two-day training course is designed for Project Managers and covers a comprehensive range of topics related to concrete properties, materials, composition, testing, specifications, and quality management. Led by Course Tutor Tony Binns MCIPD (Chartered) MICT, the course includes sessions on concrete types, finishes, mix design, quality schemes, on-site management, testing methods, and recent technological advancements. Participants will gain knowledge on concrete standards, performance specifications, and practical skills for ensuring concrete quality and conformity on construction sites.

This one-day introductory course on Basic Reinforced Concrete Detailing to Eurocode 2 (EN 1992) aims to equip delegates with the knowledge and skills to understand detailing principles, responsibilities, information transmission, compliance checks, and good practice rules. The course covers documentation, drawing practices, detailing methods, bar bending schedules, and more. It targets novice Civil/Structural Technicians and Detailers, offering hands-on exercises and practical insights into the construction process. No previous detailing experience is required.

This one-day course is designed for construction managers, site supervisors, and technicians to learn about controlling concrete on site. The course covers topics such as fresh concrete, consistence requirements, concrete strength, durability, placing and compacting concrete, curing, accepting readymix on site, sampling and testing fresh concrete, and includes a session for questions, answers, and discussions.

The course, led by Tony Binns, focuses on concrete properties, materials, testing techniques, and quality control in construction projects. Participants learn about concrete composition, testing standards, mix design, and quality assurance. The program covers topics such as concrete specification, procurement, production, and on-site management. Emphasis is placed on practical applications, including laboratory trials and field assessments. The course spans three days and concludes with an action plan for implementing the knowledge gained.

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.

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.
