Risk and existing building assessments: understanding the approach

Exploring concrete buildings from 1950-1985, this series provides insights on reuse project challenges, cost-effective surveys and investigations, corrosion and fire management, historical building modelling, and the sustainable application of carbon fibre reinforced polymers for their strengthening

Sam Hiller of insurance broker, Gallagher, summarises the insurance challenges of refurbishment projects that structural engineers may find it helpful to be aware of.

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.
