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......
 

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......
 

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......
 

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......
 

This one day course explores the complex nature of design through a mixture of presentation, discussion and interactive working in which the participants draw on and utilize what they already know and can apply to managing the design process, as well as considering some alternative approaches. This course will enable the participants to compare their own practices with others involved in the pr......
 

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 ......
 

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......
 

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......
 

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......
 

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......
 

This two-day course describes the limit state design theories and their application to reinforced concrete structures. The course deals, in particular, with the requirements of EC2 and associated design models but also provides some comparisons with the previous code BS8110. The course includes design examples for a range of structural elements. Course Contents: Background to Eurocodes Ba......
 

Course Contents: 1. Introduction Background The Main Elements of a Culvert: Issues to be considered (not all covered in this course) 2. Hydraulic Characteristics of Culverts Introduction Flow Control Examples of types of flow through culverts Hydraulic Analysis of Culverts 3. The Design Process The Ideal Culvert Key Parameters Designing New Culverts - the Process ......
 

It is said that concrete is the most important construction material used by Mankind. This is partly due to the huge volumes produced and also due to the unique way in which concrete changes from its fresh, wet consistence to develop into strong and long-lasting structural elements. Some concrete may be purely utilitarian; some may need to be visually appealing or designed to resist aggressi......
 

The course covers the design concepts behind limit state bridge codes, and concentrates on the sections of the codes that cover designing in concrete, -including the essential steps of formulating practical concrete bridge designs. Design loads and load combinations, aspects of Global Analysis, and the design of concrete bridge elements are also covered. Some aspects of the design process affec......
 

The course examines the principal causes of deterioration in concrete, steel and masonry bridges. Methods of inspection and testing are discussed for these principal materials. The current approach to performing an assessment to U.K. Highway Agency requirements are outlined and illustrated by several case studies. Repair methods are presented for concrete and steel bridge elements, and the spec......
 

A single day introductory course on R.C. Detailing based on the delegates / Employers’ requirements which are usually ascertained in advance. Aims and Objectives: On completion of this course delegates should be able to: Determine the most suitable format for detailing within given time / financial constraints. Define individual responsibilities within the detailing process, app......
 

The construction industry has a turnover of some 10% of the G.D.P. and employs some 1.4 million people. It occupies a key position in the national economy and is too important to stagnate. This course considers the industry in the light of the Egan and Latham reports and makes suggestions for future good practice. At the end of the course, delegates will have an awareness of:- The re......
