Eurocode 5 Manual and Workshops

 The Institution of Structural Engineers and TRADA have jointly published the Manual for the design of timber building structures to Eurocode 5, a new book and CD based on the European standards for timber structural designs in the UK.

This manual and its accompanying CD provide qualified Structural Engineers with guidance on the structural design of single-storey and medium-rise multi-storey buildings using common forms of structural timber work.

It is primarily intended for carrying out simple calculations and focuses on the design of buildings within the UK.

"The CD extends the usefulness of the manual even further and will save the engineer many hours of calculation". Dr Hugh Mansfield-Williams, Technical Manager TRADA Technology

This month also sees the launch of a series of "Hands on with Timber Designs to EC5" workshops TRADA intends to carry out in association with Professional Solutions (http://www.prosols.uk.com/), who facilitate the IStructE's continuous professional development (CPD) programme. The objective is to provide an opportunity for young and practising engineers to get a feel for preparing designs to Eurocodes by working through examples in a tutored workshop.  Future workshops have been planned for January and February 2009.
