Webinars in Detail...

Eurocode Introduction - 6 February 2019

An overview of the Eurocode system, including the different Parts and the influence of the National Annexes. Introducing the Eurocode presentation of formulae, and demonstrating that the structural mechanics has not changed.  Non-contradictory complementary information and Eurocode resources for member design.

Actions and combinations of actions to EN 1990 - 13 February 2019

Permanent and variable actions (loads) and how these are combined at the Ultimate Limit State – partial factors and combination factors.

Imperfections and frame stability - 20 February 2019

The Eurocode rules for frame imperfections and frame stability - measuring the significance of second-order effects by calculating a_cr.  Frame stability calculation demonstrated for braced and unbraced frames.

Steel material and cross section resistance - 27 February 2019

Steel strengths and sub-grade (brittle fracture) rules, classification and cross sectional resistance for members in tension, compression, shear and bending.

Axial compression - 6 March 2019

The design of members subject to compression – struts and columns. The special rules for columns in braced frames.

Beams; restrained and unrestrained - 13 March 2019

The calculation of lateral-torsional buckling, with free tools for complex situations. Orthodox solutions from look-up tables. An introduction to composite floor beams and slabs.

Combined axial load and bending - 20 March 2019

The general case for members in combined loading – the expressions, the interaction coefficients and numerical examples.

Connections to EN 1993-1-8 - 27 March 2019

The Eurocode rules for connection components – bolts, plates and welds. Standardised connections from look-up tables. Baseplates and bracing connections.

David Brown

David Brown is an Associate Director at the Steel Construction Institute UK. He is the author of a number of publications and technical articles, and a regular presenter on topics connected with the Eurocodes. David is a member of National and European committees concerned with design, fabrication and erection.

Richard Henderson

Richard is responsibile for the Advisory Service and is the now familiar voice that callers will talk to Monday through to Wednesday. His breadth of experience ideally places him to answer any member questions which come to our Advisory desk.
