Eurocodes Training Courses

Eurocode 3 Training is designed for Structural Engineers to learn and apply the principles of Eurocode 3 for building structures. The course covers topics such as steelwork specification, frame stability, beams, slabs, connections, and design for flexure, shear, axial loading, and deflection. Participants will gain an understanding of Eurocode 3 and its differences with BS 5950. The course includes practical tutorials and design exercises to enhance learning.

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 Retaining Walls Training course aims to enhance the understanding and skills of geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, and graduate civil and structural engineers in designing retaining walls to Eurocode 7 standards. The course covers topics such as wall types, soil mechanics principles, Eurocodes, and geotechnical design requirements. Led by an experienced chartered engineer, the one-day course includes lectures, discussions, and tutorial questions to reinforce learning. Participants will apply their knowledge through guided examples and gain practical insights into designing retaining walls.

This one-day workshop, "Design to Eurocode 5," focuses on the transition from BS 5268 to EC5 in timber design. It introduces the limit state design philosophy of EC5, emphasizing a unified basis for material selection. Aimed at engineers and technicians, the workshop provides clear examples comparing the two design approaches and delves into timber element design. Led by Dr. Keerthi Kumara Ranasinghe, a Senior Structural Engineer at TRADA Technology, participants gain insights into Eurocodes and practical guidance for structural design projects.

This one-day course introduces participants to Eurocode 6, focusing on masonry structure design. The interactive course covers practical design problems and aims to enhance understanding of Eurocode 6 and its application within the Eurocode suite. Participants will learn about masonry structural units, mortars, and design principles, with a focus on unreinforced design. The course is recommended for civil and structural engineering designers seeking to update their knowledge. Dr. J Morton, an experienced Consulting Engineer, leads the course. Topics include Eurocode functions, materials, compressive loaded design, and laterally loaded panel design.

One-day course for geotechnical professionals focusing on the implementation of Eurocodes in the field. The course aims to familiarize participants with the new standards and their impact on professional practices. Geologists and engineers involved in geotechnical design, testing, and reporting are encouraged to attend. The course structure includes sessions on Eurocode suite introduction, design procedures, investigation planning, testing, and reporting. Workshops and discussions are incorporated to enhance understanding of key concepts and changes.

This one-day course provides an introduction to designing masonry using Eurocode 6, focusing on key elements of the new design code. Participants will learn about the Eurocode suite, Eurocode 6's structure and operation, and key features of Part 1-1 Eurocode 6. The course includes tutorials on designing vertically and laterally loaded walls and panels. It is intended for civil and structural engineering designers interested in masonry design using EN1996-1-1. The course is interactive, with practical design examples, and led by a Chartered Civil and Structural Engineer involved in developing Eurocode 6.

The course on "The New Code on Geotechnical Design" is a two-day program aimed at engineering design professionals to understand and adapt to the mandatory Eurocode suite of documents. The course covers the implications of the new Standards on geotechnical structures and ground investigation procedures. Day 1 focuses on design procedures for geotechnical structures, while Day 2 covers ground investigation and testing aspects. Sessions include an introduction to Eurocode documents, parameter characterization, design for foundations, sampling, testing, soil description, and reporting.
