Description

This one-day course provides a clear and considered introduction to Eurocode 6 focussing on the key elements of the design code. An overview of the Eurocode suite is also given, placing masonry design in the context of the other design Eurocodes. Hands-on design of unreinforced brick and block masonry will form the major focus of the course.

The training course is highly interactive with worked tutorial examples and is based on practical design problems. Delegates' participation is actively encouraged throughout.

This training course has been mapped to:

EC UK-SPEC Competence A1: Maintain and extend a sound theoretical approach in enabling the introduction and exploitation of new and advancing technology
ICE Key Attribute 1C: Ability to maintain and extend a sound theoretical approach in enabling the introduction and exploitation of new and advancing technology
