This course covers common foundation types used today on both residential and commercial properties including the range of foundations available from simple trench fill foundations through to piling and ground beams. Delegates will learn about the design of simply supported basic structural elements, timber floor joists and steel beams over openings. The course will include an exercise based on a domestic extension that looks at loading, bending moments and shear forces, steel beams, floor joists and associated elements.
CPD: This course counts for 3 hours CPD.
Cost: Days 1 & 2 cost £80.00+VAT per day. You will need to book each part separately using the links at the bottom of this page.
Platform: This course will be held via Zoom and will run for 3.5 hours including time for breaks.
Day One Course Content:
- Loadings and loading assessments.
- Structural analysis of simple structure - Bending moments and shear forces
- Design of timber floors including worked example and practice session
- Common types of foundations and their uses
Day Two Course Content:
- Brief recap on the loading and structural analysis from Day 1
- Design of simply supported steel beams including worked example and practice session
- Structural alterations of domestic properties
Delegates will gain an understanding of the different types of foundations and where there are likely to be used. This will better assist them with their on site assessment when inspecting trial holes and reading through any site investigation reports. They will also learn to understand how loadings are obtained for subsequent analysis on a domestic property. Using these loadings they will then be able to analyse the structural member before proceeding to the design of that structural member.
Who Should Attend?
Surveyors who are keen to develop their expertise and knowledge of the subject, together with qualified surveyors who want an update session for continuing professional development.
