By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Differentiate between reliability, risk and resilience when quantifying structural performance
Appreciate the role of robustness and resilience in the design of structures
Understand the role of aleatory and epistemic uncertainties in the design of structures
Decide which design situations are best suited for the adoption of performance-based approaches, and justify their use in practice
Break down the application of performance-based design into sequential stages; from assessing the relevant hazards to estimating the resulting losses
Recommend a range of structural and non-structural solutions to enhance resilience and robustness

Prof. Caroline Field is a Partner at PA Consulting and leads their resilience business. Caroline has a background in asset and infrastructure resilience with over 26 years of professional experience including 12 years in counter terrorism, blast mitigation and physical security and 7 years in earthquake engineering and dynamics.
Dr Andre Jesus is a Chartered Structural Engineer (Portugal) and a lecturer in structural engineering at Loughborough University, UK. Andre has research expertise in structural dynamics, including structural health monitoring of bridges and timber buildings, human-structure interaction effects with application for modal testing, and modelling of railway infrastructure under high-speed trains passage. One common aspect throughout his research is the use of advanced probabilistic methods to describe different sources of uncertainty, which inevitably undermine data interpretation and damage detection strategies.

This half-day, online course covers the methods by which the lateral stability of a building structure is achieved.
This one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
This course equips practicing engineers to undertake the full structural design of a building, including designing a robust building to avoid disproportionate collapse.
This two-day, online course introduces seismic design of civil engineering structures. It builds on the basics of structural dynamics and engineering seismology. The course focuses on seismic loading and design codes, conceptual seismic design principles and analysis for seismic loading, and design and detailing of structural members.
This course delivers key advice and guidance on seismic design of structures to Eurocode 8 as well as the application of the Eurocode. Emphasis is placed on reinforced concrete buildings although the concepts are widely applicable.
This practical course helps structural engineers to confidently approach a refurbishment or reuse project, looking at the initial steps to understand an existing structure, how to apply basic conservation principles and the design implications and considerations.
