Pile Design Workshop
Course Format: Classroom
This course brings practising engineers up-to-date with modern pile design techniques. The course is independent of design standards. Aims and Objectives: To make delegates aware of modern pile design techniques and to give them confidence to appreciate the design issues. Learning Outcomes: On completion of this course, delegates will be able to design single piles and pile groups using...
 

Surface Water Culvert Design
Course Format: Classroom
Surface water culverts are among the most common drainage structures in the UK but their design is frequently a mystery to most Civil Engineers. Culverts must be adequately sized to carry design flows; constructed to avoid adverse effects on watercourse wildlife; and be economical. This course is based on CIRIA Report 168, "Culvert Design Guide", and is aimed at the non-specialist Des...
 

Structural Steelwork Detailing
Course Format: Classroom
The course provides an introduction and guide to those in the design and construction industry who are likely to be involved with the principles concerning the detailing of structural steelwork. The art of steelwork detailing continues to play a pivotal role in the successful creation of any steel structure. The technological developments associated with computer aided detailing and the use...
 

Structural Masonry
Course Format: Classroom
Masonry is one of the key construction materials used in the UK and is used both as a loadbearing material and as a cladding to framed structures. Brick and block masonry remain the primary construction materials for houses in the UK and are used extensively in buildings of all types. Historically reliance was placed on the great compressive strength of masonry to produce structures such as the...
 

Sheet Piling and Cofferdams Workshop
Course Format: Classroom
The cost of temporary works is a significant portion of the cost of a civil engineering or building project. It is therefore essential that proper attention is paid to the economic design, construction and safety aspects of these works. Design will be based on CIRIA method of design, adapted to Limit State, which is an updated version of the simple process used successfully for the past 60 y...
 

Earth Retaining Structures
Course Format: Classroom
The course considers the background to a topic with reference to relevant Codes of Practice (BS8004/BS8002/EC7 etc). Slides and hardware are used to illustrate practical applications. There are worked examples in the notes and tutorials for group practice. Course Outline: Form and function of retaining walls, introduction to design codes wide base mass and gravity walls embedded walls basic ...
 

Designing Steel Building Structures - EC3 Workshop
Course Format: Classroom
The aim of this course is to provide participants with an understanding of the physical behaviour and limit state design of structural steelwork in accordance with EC3. Course Objectives: The objectives of the course are to: Introduce the basic principles of limit state design and how they are applied in EC3. Identify the common failure modes of steelwork elements and understand how th...
 

Design of Timber Structures to Eurocode 5
Course Format: Classroom
This course covers the design of timber structures to Euorocde 5, from an introduction to Limit State based Eurocodes to design of realistic timber structures. Learning outcomes: Understand the Limit States Design method Calculate design loads on timber structures to Eurocodes (EN 1990, EN 1991 and EN 1995) Analyse and design basic bending members, axially loaded members and members su...
 

Design of Masonry using Eurocode 6
Course Format: Classroom
Masonry is one of the key construction materials used in the UK and is used both as a load-bearing material and as a cladding to framed structures. Brick and block masonry remain the primary construction materials for houses in the UK and are used extensively in buildings of all types. Masonry structures have withstood the test of time and proven the inherent durability and structural integrity...
 

Design of Earth Retaining Walls
Course Format: Classroom
Course Outline: Introduction Types of retaining walls Brief history of CP2, BS8002 and EC7 Approach to design: stability and strength Earth Pressure KA, Ko and Kp: relationship of earth pressure to strain Coulomb’s method Rankine’s method Effects of wall friction and sloping ground Cohesive soils: Bell’s method Effect of water pressure Effect of compa...
