Design of Steel Structures to EC3

In today's competitive construction industry, a thorough understanding of Eurocode 3 is essential for any professional involved in the design of steel structures. This intensive two-day course provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the principles and application of Eurocode 3 for the design of steel buildings. Whether you are a graduate engineer starting your career, built environment professionals, and engineers seeking to enhance your technical knowledge, this course will equip you with the skills and confidence to design safe, efficient, and compliant steel structures.

This course demystifies the complexities of Eurocode 3 through a balanced blend of theoretical instruction, practical worked examples, and interactive sessions. Participants will gain a robust understanding of the limit state design philosophy that underpins the Eurocodes, and will learn how to navigate the various parts of EN 1993.

This intensive two-day course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practical application of Eurocode 3 (EN 1993) for the design of steel structures. The programme is designed for structural engineers, graduates and technicians who wish to enhance their knowledge.

The programme workflow is structured to ensure a balanced approach, with Day 1 dedicated to member-level design, concentrating on isolated forces acting on individual structural components. Day 2 then shifts focus to system-level behaviour, evaluating overall stability and the interactions between different elements, including connections within the structure and other considerations for design, such as sustainability and design for zero.

The schedule aligns with standard EC3 course syllabi, as confirmed by resources from the Institution of Structural Engineers and other professional bodies.

Lectures include worked examples to demonstrate the application of EC3 design rules, ensuring participants can apply theoretical knowledge practically.

PROGRAMME

LECTURER BIO

Dr Bai is an Associate Professor in civil engineering at University of South Wales, UK. He has focused his research on sustainable construction materials, structural analysis and design to Eurocodes including steel and concrete structures. With over 20 years of experience in lecturing, consulting, and researching in the field of sustainable development and structural engineering, Jiping has specialised in sustainable construction via waste utilisation and recycling practices, analysis of structural durability through modelling approaches, and the evaluation and optimisation of quality standards. His research endeavours investigate the intricate dynamics among structural materials, their performance within structural systems, and their interactions within the surrounding environment.

Passionate about bridging academic research with industry practice, particularly through the integration of advanced technologies into engineering design and assessment, more recently, Dr Bai has expanded into developing intelligent systems that incorporate machine learning for structural inspection and health monitoring, aiming to enhance the performance and lifespan of structures for a more sustainable and resilient built environment.
