Building up on the introductory workshop on design to Eurocode 5, this workshop is aimed mostly at engineers who have had some design experience with timber structures. Delegates are encouraged to book the two courses together to get the maximum benefit, though not essential. The day starts with an introduction to the EC5 approach to the connections, comparing and contrasting the method with the BS 5268 approach. Practical design examples will be used to explain all the major fastener types, nails, screws, bolts and dowels.
