Eurocode EN 1992 Design of Concrete Structures

Eurocode EN 1992-1-1 Design of Concrete Structures sets out general rules for the design of concrete structures and rules for the design of buildings, providing a common approach across the European market.  From March 2010 all EU Government contracts will be in Eurocodes. 

In response for the need for training on Eurocode 2 , the Irish Concrete Society in conjunction with Engineers Ireland have arranged for 1-day seminars to be held in Athlone, Cork and Dublin on the 14th, 20th and 21st of October respectively.

The aim of this seminar is to introduce, in some detail, the design approach of Eurocode 2.

• Venues: Athlone, Cork and Dublin
• Dates: October 20th (International Airport Hotel, Cork), October 21st (Clyde Road, Dublin)
• Session Time: 9am to 5pm
• 
  
• Fee:
  • Engineers Ireland Members €200 *** HUGE FEE REDUCTION ***
    
  • Non-members €250
• CPD Credit: 1

Trainers’ Profiles

Jim Mansfield is a Consulting Engineer in private practice dealing mostly with the design of building structures in a wide variety of materials including concrete. He has been involved in the Eurocode Programme since 1990 as Irish Liaison Engineer acting in respect of EN 1990 Basis of Design and EN 1991 Actions on Structures. Kavanagh Mansfield & Partners in corporation with Lee McCullough were commissioned by the Department of the Environment Heritage and Local Government and the Irish Concrete Federation to carry out a study into the use of EN 1992 in Ireland including the preparation of a draft National Annex. This work has recently been completed under his direction.

Eamonn Cannon is a Senior Lecturer in Design of Structures at NUI, Galway. He has been involved with European design codes since his time as a graduate student in Milan in the 70’s. Eamonn worked on various projects in the Europe and the Middle East, including construction of the Ninian Central platform and design of the British Channel Tunnel Terminal and the Quincentennial Bridge, Galway, before taking up his present role. He is currently Irish liaison engineer for Eurocode 2.

Dr Roger West is a Senior Lecturer at TrinityHaus in Trinity College Dublin and is a member of the Irish Concrete Durability Committee which has been responsible for advising NSAI on the National Annex to EN206.

Overview

This hands-on foundation-level course covers the essentials of Autodesk Civil 3D. Students learn how to work with point data in Autodesk Civil 3D, how to create and analyze a surface, how to develop a site, how to model roads, corridors, and pipe networks, how to work with survey data, and how to import and export data.

Hands-on exercises throughout the courseware explore how to create 2D and 3D production drawings

Learning objectives

The primary objective of this course is to familiarize students with the concepts and application of the essential functions of Autodesk Civil 3D.

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

• Create points, change point styles, and manage points in groups.
• Create, edit, and analyze surfaces, and view surfaces in 3D.
• Create parcels and parcel tables.
• Create a site, create and edit alignments, and create profiles and cross-sections.
• Create assemblies, corridors, pipe networks, and cross-sections, and calculate corridor volumes.
• Create a grading solution from multiple objects.
• Import Autodesk Land Desktop data and export Autodesk Civil 3D data.
• Import and work with survey data.
