Concrete Centre extends webcast resource

The Concrete Centre launches two educational webcasts aimed at structural engineers to provide a comprehensive introduction to the new Eurocodes and to the benefits of Finite Element Analysis.

The webcasts are part of a growing online educational resource provided by The Concrete Centre.

'Introduction to Eurocodes', presented by Jenny Burridge, head of structural engineering at The Concrete Centre, examines Eurocodes O, 1 and 2.

It provides an overview of the basis of structural design under the codes and examines the particular requirements and values for concrete under Eurocode 2.

In particular, the webcast examines the differences between BS8110 and Eurocode 2 and explains how to carry out shear design under the new code.

'Finite Element Analysis', presented by structural engineer Owen Brooker, explains the benefits of using finite element analysis for flat slabs particularly for complex geometry and unusual loads.

He goes on to explain the application of finite analysis, use of FE software packages and the establishment of an analysis model.
