Getting inside EC5 - TRADA workshops for engineers

 TRADA Technology will stage a further series of practical workshops to help promote a better understanding of the timber design code Eurocode 5 (EC5) for both engineers and engineering technicians.

Introduction to Eurocode 5 will take place at TRADA's High Wycombe headquarters on 27th March, 15th May, 13th September and 31st October 2012. Eurocode 5 Connections workshops will take place on 16th May and 1st November 2012. Both courses run from 9.30am - 4.30pm.

Senior Structural Engineer Dr Keerthi Ranasinghe said, ‘Connections pose a unique challenge for designers and probably constitute one of the most detailed yet frequently misunderstood aspects of EC5. And Eurocode 5 offers the designer more potential than they might realise, as our introductory workshop will illustrate.'

The workshops use practical worked examples ‘to bring clarity and facilitate a better understanding of the intricacies of EC5', Dr Ranasinghe added. Printed worked examples are included in the delegate fee. The cost is £180 + VAT for TRADA members and £229 + VAT for non-members.

Delegates may save up to 30% when booking both courses together: TRADA members £250 +VAT and non-members £350 +VAT.  For further information click here.
