This course provides guidance on specific aspects of demolition and refurbishment from an engineering perspective whilst addressing safety, environmental and sustainability influences.

This course introduces EN 1991-1-4 for determining wind actions on structures. It outlines the basic principles behind the code and covers each step of the procedure for calculating the wind loads on structures. Attention is given to important features introduced by the UK NA.

This one-day, online advanced practical workshop will teach complex timber engineering through worked examples. It encourages problem-solving through teaching tools and group discussion.

This course equips practising engineers to undertake the full structural design of a building, including designing a robust building to avoid disproportionate collapse. The course covers designing buildings of Class 1 – 2B and alterations/change of use of existing buildings.

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 focusses on seismic loading and design codes, conceptual seismic design principles and analysis for seismic loading, and design and detailing of structural members.

This advanced one-day, online course delivers key advice using worked examples on the 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 highly practical, half-day, online workshop teaches the skills SME practice owners and directors need in order to plan the medium and long term growth of their SMEs.

A breakfast briefing, sponsored by Getzner, on elastic building isolation and how it can be used to achieve both dynamic optimisation and structural integrity.

Miguel Martinez-Paneda describes current performance-based design uses, and advocates the potential for its wider application in a holistic approach.

Mike Cook sets out a vision for the future in which testing, modelling and a change in mindset allow the construction industry to decarbonise rapidly while ensuring our buildings are safe to occupy and resilient to the effects of climate breakdown.

This breakfast briefing explored how CROSS drives a culture of structural and fire safety reporting across the engineering profession.

A talk from Yasmeen Lari on her architectural career and social justice.
