Talk about ductile detailing for seismic design of structures.

This course provides guidance on specific aspects of demolition and refurbishment from an engineering perspective, while addressing safety, environmental and sustainability influences.

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.

This practical course will help structural engineers to confidently approach a refurbishment or reuse project. Looking at the initial steps needed to understand an existing structure, how to apply basic conservation principles and the design implications and considerations.

2024 Gold Medallist Werner Sobek reflects on his illustrious career and shares his views on the challenges facing the building industry and what engineers can do to overcome them.

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 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.

Bringing together the next generation of construction leaders, this popular annual conference focuses on resilient structural engineering and making a positive impact.

Griffiths & Armour Partner, Tanya Winstanley, shares her thoughts on building resilience into SME businesses and provides an update on Griffiths & Armour’s ‘Constructing change’ initiative, which aims to stimulate debate on the wider issues facing the sector.
