Introduction
Design to the Eurocode suite will be possible during 2008, once the remaining National Annexes are finally published. Design guidance and software will be available during 2008.
This course is designed to introduce experienced steel designers to the Eurocode provisions for steel design. The focus is on orthodox construction, covering the primary design issues for practicing engineers. The course should deliver a sense of reassurance that design to EC3 will become straightforward in time, and indeed has advantages in some areas.
Numerical worked examples are an important feature of the course, and are used to demonstrate each major element of the course content.

David joined the Steel Construction Institute in 1992, with an interest in construction issues. This included the Green Book on moment connections, and various CIMsteel publications on manufacture and construction. David has also been responsible for a guide to the CDM regulations, advice on computer analysis, and the design of curved steel. He is a member of BSI and European technical committees. He manages the Standards activity at the SCI, including the development of a suite fo guides on Eurocode 3.
David is now a Deputy Director at the Institute, but spends much of his time delivering technical courses, notably on Eurocode 3, connections, frame design, BS 5950, and BS 6399-2.
