Introduction

At the end of this 2-day CPD seminar, delegates should be able to apply a qualitative approach to the solution of a range of framed structures, apply checking protocols for computer output and establish a reliable interpretation of the results, apply the qualitative approach to the approximate analysis of structures as an aid to the creation of the structural scheme and determine appropriate protocols for the development of these skills in the design office.

Course Content

• The key theorems in structural analysis; equilibrium and elasticity
• First and second order theorems of analysis
• The development of qualitative skills
• The behaviour of beams, complex beams and frames
• Interpreting computer software
• Case studies

Speaker/s

• DR DAVID BROHN, PhD, CEng, FIStructE, in the early 1970's, devised a test for an understanding of structural behaviour. The control group for the test was the graduate entry to the Arup Partnership. This course was devised for the Partnership and revealed that even engineers of many years experience are less than secure in applying an understanding of structural behaviour.

In the mid 1980's he set up the software company QSE to apply this concept to the design of a highly intuitive interface for structural analysis software.

He has continued to provide the training course for many of the world's leading firms of structural designers.
