Concrete

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 establishes good practice in the design of reinforced concrete structures. Through practical exercises, it will cover concept, design, flat slabs and finite element analysis.

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.

Achieve accurate design and effective implementation with transfer slabs from concept to construction.

This article explores the project aims, challenges, solutions and lessons learned in redeveloping an existing 1980s quayside office block in southwest England.

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

This month we present key elements of a CROSS Safety Alert from December 2020 detailing the failures and lessons learned from the Florida bridge collapse in 2018.

Exploring the benefits and principles of strengthening historic concrete structures using carbon fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) and how these are implemented in the Eurocode 2, second generation.
