Structures & Infrastructure (Including EuroCodes)

The Virtual Consultation in Transport Planning Course focuses on the importance of consultation and public participation in policy and infrastructure development. It covers legislation, stakeholder management, communication strategies, and tools for engaging communities effectively. The course aims to help organizations achieve inclusive development and showcases the impact of running public participation well versus poorly through practical case studies. Targeted at transport planners and managers, it equips participants with skills to enhance their public participation exercises.

The Virtual Transport Planners Training course focuses on preparing professionals in the transport sector for the future of mobility. Participants will learn how to create future scenarios, analyze trends, and develop evidence-led strategies. The course covers the history of scenario planning, integrating active modes of transport, and engaging stakeholders. Suitable for professionals in transport planning, policy, engineering, and related fields, it provides tools for translating scenarios into new transport strategies. The course is designed for senior and principal planners looking to enhance their skills in scenario planning.

The Virtual Effective Access and Inclusion Training course focuses on accessibility and public transport integration, covering topics such as the Inclusive Transport Strategy, Equality Act, and station travel planning. Participants will gain knowledge on tools for developing accessibility solutions, understanding of integration principles, and skills for engaging stakeholders. The course is designed for professionals in various fields related to access and integration, offering technical knowledge for diversity and inclusion specialists. The interactive workshop format includes case studies and practical tools for implementing effective schemes.

The Virtual Engineering Structures Under Fire & Blast Training course covers structural response under blast loading and fire, including blast profile, design principles, and fire physics. Participants will learn about numerical methods, structural and human response assessment, and design procedures for steel and concrete members. The course is suitable for engineers, managers, scientists, and technologists involved in designing and managing various engineering structures. The program includes lectures on blast response analysis, numerical modeling, fire safety design, and modeling techniques for structural fire analysis. Dr. Feng Fu, an experienced lecturer, will lead the course over 2 days.

The Virtual Infrastructure Management Training webinar on April 24, 2020, focuses on resilience-based decision making in infrastructure management. The course, led by Dr. Stergios Mitoulis and Dr. Sotiris Argyroudis, is split into two parts. The first part covers vulnerability and risk-based decision making, including fragility assessment and quantification of risk. The second part explores resilience-based assessment and management, discussing resilience indices and restoration strategies for critical infrastructure. Attendees can request an attendance certificate upon completing the webinar.

The "Virtual Steel Training" course on "Fire Resistance Design of Steel and Composite Structures" aims to provide participants with in-depth knowledge on fire resistance requirements, design procedures, and protection methods for steel structures. Led by Professor Yong Wang, the course covers Eurocode standards and practical applications, offering valuable insights from his extensive experience in structural and fire engineering. Participants can request attendance certificates upon completing the webinar.

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.
