Civil and structural engineers help to create and protect the world we live in. Driven by teaching and research excellence, we inspire and empower our students to engineer a better future.

Come along to this taster session to see if civil and structural engineering could be the right course for you.

Innovations in Structural Engineering: Strengthening against earthquakes

This session will discuss the use of advanced composite materials as a novel class of reinforcement for concrete structures, and will illustrate the benefits of using advanced composites to increase the seismic performance of existing buildings.

Expect to:

• gain an appreciation of the structural limitations of concrete
• familiarise with composite materials and their use as reinforcement for concrete
• gain an appreciation of how advanced composites can be used in structural strengthening applications

They are great for getting to know the subject and getting a feel for the course. People were knowledgeable in the specific field (eg professors and students in civil engineering rather than just mathematicians/physicians)
