By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Identify a range of different materials that may be found in existing buildings
Demonstrate knowledge of some of the typical defects that might be found in different materials/ages of construction
Ask the right questions and take practical steps to assess an existing structures condition and loading capacities
Address robustness and disproportionate collapse in your designs
Think holistically about reuse as part of a wider sustainability discussion
Graduate to experienced structural engineers looking to build confidence when working on reuse or refurbishment projects.
Rachael De’Ath has more than 20 years of design experience, working for Arup and more recently Marbas as well as 3 years lecturing at the University of Bristol teaching design and has continued her role as a visiting lecture. She has a broad range of experience but prefers to work on existing buildings where she uses her skills and experience to reimagine the existing structure into something new. She was named as one of the Women’s Engineering Society’s ‘Top 50 female engineers’ in 2018 and is an active member of her local IStructE branch committee.
Gavin Knowles is a lecturer at the University of Bath and prior to this has worked in practice as a Chartered structural engineer. His previous projects including many education and office buildings, along with conservation and refurbishment projects, interweaved with diverse structures, such as rammed chalk-walled houses, recycled material stages at WOMAD Festival and the odd sculpture. He now teaches Structural Design, Conservation and leads on student design projects.

The conference provides structural engineers with the latest practical tools and guidance for reuse, repurpose and refurbishment projects, enabling the transformation of existing structures and structural materials.
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 provides an introduction to structural steelwork design to Eurocode 3 for building design.
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 one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
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 provides guidance on specific aspects of demolition and refurbishment from an engineering perspective, while addressing safety, environmental and sustainability influences.
Bringing together the next generation of construction leaders, this popular annual conference focuses on resilient structural engineering and making a positive impact.
