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 one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.
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.
Achieve accurate design and effective implementation with transfer slabs from concept to construction.
This two-day, in-person course provides participants with an understanding of the basic principles of temporary works 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 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 provides an introduction to structural steelwork design to Eurocode 3 for building design.
This half-day online course introduces simple structural concepts that will enable structural engineers to design more effective, efficient and elegant structures.
This course covers aspects of the geotechnical and structural design of spread and piled foundations. It is tailored for engineers working in small practices. The content is compliant with Eurocodes 2 and 7, with opportunities for comparisons with relevant British Standards.
