Through the introduction of simple physical models and practical examples, you will gain a greater understanding of structural behaviour and the distribution of internal forces in structures. As a result, you will be able to identify how the design of simple structures can be improved and be equipped to provide solutions to structural problems.
More direct internal force paths
More uniform distribution of internal forces
Smaller internal forces
Converting more bending moments to axial forces
Develop an intuitive understanding of four structural concepts
Translate your understanding of simple structural concepts into efficient design
Appreciate innovative engineering solutions for reducing deflections
Identify the routes and measures in existing structures, which efficiently reduce deflections
Although open to all, this course is particularly suited to graduate structural engineers and those preparing to take the IStructE’s Chartership Membership exam.
Dr Tianjian Ji, FIStructE, is Reader in Structural Engineering at the University of Manchester. He developed "Seeing and Touching Structural Concepts" for gaining an intuitive understanding by using simple physical models and appropriate practical examples. He is the author of two books: Understanding and Using Structural Concepts and Structural Design against Deflection.

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 course provides an introduction to structural steelwork design to Eurocode 3 for building design.
This two-day, in-person course provides participants with an understanding of the basic principles of temporary works design.
This two-day course shows engineers how to arrive at a qualitative solution to both create a structure and check computational results.
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 one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
This course covers the design of common structural elements to Eurocode 2. Participants will be introduced to concrete material properties and learn about designing for durability and fire.
This course gives guidance on the key considerations when planning the construction of deep basements. It covers using both embedded wall bottom-up and top-down construction in accordance with Eurocodes 2 and 7.
This course establishes good practice in the design of reinforced concrete structures. Through practical exercises, it will cover concept, design, flat slabs and finite element analysis.
