TRADA still running Eurocode 5 workshop programme

TRADA Technology is continuing with its programme of workshops to assist engineers to understand Eurocode 5.

On 28 September TRADA will stage a further introductory workshop, to help delegates understand the performance of timber structures in their end environment.

And on 19 October, to address one of the most detailed yet frequently misunderstood aspects of EC5, it will stage a connections workshop aimed at engineers with design experience of timber structures, although this is not neccessary.

Dr Keerthi Ranasinghe, Senior Structural Engineer, said: "Connections pose a unique challenge for designers.

EC5 requires the designer to be competent in performing lengthy calculations to get the member sizing, fastener sizing and arrangements right".

The introductory workshop will cost GBP199 + VAT (TRADA members) and GBP259 + VAT (non-members).

This costs includes a free copy of the Manual for design of timber structures to Eurocode 5 and accompanying CD-ROM, a joint publication by TRADA and the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE).

Printed worked examples will also be distributed free of charged.

The connections workshop will cost GBP199 + VAT (TRADA members) and GBP259 + VAT (non-members), to include two months' free access to TRADA's EC5 connections software.

Although it is not necessary to attend the introductory workshop before attending the connections event, a saving of up to 30 per cent is offered if both workshops are booked together to total GBP278 + VAT (TRADA members) and GBP399 + VAT (non-members).

CPD certificates will be issued to all delegates.
