This masterclass focusses on the complex commercial contracts produced by clients. It will help engineers analyse the commercial issues, possible implications, and risks to confidently formulate new negotiating strategies. Group exercises will utilise actual client contracts and devise practical responses.

This popular one-day course will give you a practical understanding of the essentials of contractual relationships. It demystifies the language used, explains the concepts and provides a knowledge base to avoid common pitfalls of engineering and construction contracts.

This course equips attendees with practical knowledge about structural design with bamboo stems (culms). The course considers aspects of concept design, detailed design and durability by design.

This course takes place as a series of two-hour interactive sessions over three weeks. It introduces EN 1991-1-4 for determining wind actions on structures, 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 interactive online course will share current state-of-the-art frameworks for the adoption of resilience-based design in professional practice, demonstrating advantages compared to a traditional prescriptive design and providing examples of how they benefit the client.

This course supports the practising designer with composite design to Eurocode 4. It will enable an understanding of the essential requirements of this code in structural design and how the code operates.

This interactive course, delivered as three two-hour sessions, provides a comprehensive foundation in digital sketching for Windows and OS system users.

This practical course will help structural engineers to confidently approach a refurbishment or reuse project. Looking at the initial steps needed to understand an existing structure, how to apply basic conservation principles and the design implications and considerations.

This course is designed to provide structural engineers with a greater understanding of fire safety, key legislation, and the principles of risk analysis in order to ensure that adequate structural performance in fire is achieved. Participants will examine case studies of structural and non-structural failures as a result of fire.

A guide to the field of structural engineering in relation to buildings for construction industry professionals.

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

This course presents practical guidance on key aspects of preliminary scheme development and detailed scheme design in structural steelwork.
