Gain advanced skills to design buildings that can withstand extreme events. This course provides practical tools for designing structures to withstand extreme loading, including wind, earthquakes, impact, blast, and fire, in compliance with Australian Standards.
Gain advanced skills to design buildings that can withstand extreme events.
Designing structures that can withstand extreme events is an essential skill for building design professionals.
This comprehensive short course will give you key practical tools for designing a building structure to safely withstand the action of extreme loading, including wind, earthquakes, impact and blast, and fire, in compliance with Australian Standards requirements.
Ideal for structural designers who want to enhance their skill sets, civil engineers, construction and engineering students, early and mid-career professionals, and overseas-trained professionals will all find value in this course.
Delivered online over six weeks, Structural Design of Buildings for Extreme Loading includes self-learning activities facilitated by lecture videos and interactive webinars. This program also counts for 12 CPD (continuing professional development) hours for Engineers Australia Members. Learning is mapped to Australian standards for structural design requirements.

Use industry recognised software to perform structural analysis of a whole building. Apply established structural principles to verify your results and familiarise yourself with essential techniques to ensure buildings are well protected from extreme events.
Learn fundamental concepts, including the use of response spectra to calculate the design earthquake load, structural parameters to calculate wind load, and the design and implementation of fire curves to enhance fire safety in buildings. You'll also learn modelling techniques for blast and impact actions.
Draw on your new knowledge of different methodologies for responding to extreme events and participate in an interactive design workshop. You'll use your new skills to design a structure that can withstand extreme events and gain valuable feedback.
