The two day seminar and workshop for practising engineers "Design and Construction of Precast Concrete Structures" will be held on 27 - 28 May 2004 in Dresden. This seminar is intended for practising engineers, architects and contractors engaged in the design and construction of commercial, private and industrial buildings. It aims to provide the widest possible appreciation of the use of precast concrete for innovative and modern buildings. Aspects of design creativity at the conceptual stage will be followed by a detailed examination of the structural mechanics of multi-storey frames, enabling the delegates to engage in a real design problem of a 7-storey precast frame during the second day. The lectures will be supplemented by design problems, case studies and videos. Course notes will be provided together with the opportunity to purchase Kim Elliott's latest text book Precast Concrete Structures. More information and registration here...
