CPD Workshop: Eurocodes Update and Worked Examples - SOLD OUT
Workshop Overview
The Eurocodes were introduced into Ireland with appropriate National Annexes early in 2011; they are now the de-facto standard for the verification of structural designs in Ireland. There are differences between the approaches to the Eurocodes in Ireland compared with the United Kingdom, formerly the guiding light for Irish design. In many cases the Irish National Annexes are closer to the approach taken by the remaining countries in the European Union. It is therefore importance that delegates become aware of these differences.
Workshop Aim
The workshop has been designed to inform delegates of the principles and application rules of the Eurocodes in a workshop format for the design of structures in an Irish environment.
Learning Objectives
-
Present a standard method of approach to the design of structures in Ireland
-
Enable participants to design structures efficiently and comfortably using Eurocodes
-
Present methods for the majority of materials covered by the set of Eurocodes
-
Present worked examples for each facet of everyday Eurocode verification
