Powerful analysis
software may be only a click away for most structural engineers – but
how can we make good use of it?
LUSAS will be making
two presentations sponsored by the Institution of Structural Engineers (Victoria) in March
2015.
 An
initial scene-setting presentation at an evening IStructE Technical Meeting on 2
March 2015 and a later,
more detailed, series of presentations at a longer Seminar event on 11
March 2015 will both explore issues encountered in modelling concrete structures, from choosing the
right approach to understanding the results, as well as considering the
most common modelling errors and how to spot them.
Practical rather than
theoretical and general rather than software-specific, the presentations
for both events are intended to be accessible to engineers who have
limited or no Finite Element experience, as well as offering a new
perspective for those who are more established.

Steve Rhodes is a
Chartered Civil Engineer with 20 years experience in structures.
Since graduating in 1994, he has mostly been engaged on bridge
design and assessment projects, ranging between design of a 450m
long launched post-tensioned viaduct to management of a stock of
5,000 existing small and medium-sized structures. He spent 3
years on the technical support helpline for LUSAS, encountering
good and bad practice every day. Since 2008, he has been
writing and delivering training courses internationally. |
