FINAL CALL! REGISTRATION BY 2 JUL 2015!workshop introduces the concepts and principles of steel building design, before explaining in detail the methods employed by Eurocode 3 for designing members in bending, compression and tension. Load combinations, bracing and ties, frame stability, trusses, portal frames, multi-storey buildings, long span plate girders and bolted and welded connections are also covered. The design methods are illustrated through worked examples. Recognising the current transition from BS 5950 to the Eurocodes, the course will highlight the similarities and major differences between the two codes, but it will not assume any prior knowledge of either code.CPD: 14 PDUs qualified by PE Board; 12 STUs (for RE & RTO)

LAST CALL, REGISTRATION BY 20 JUL 2015!Course Synopsis With EuroCode implementation and the new Singapore Standards SS EN 206-1 (Concrete Specification, performance, production and conformity) and SS 544 (Concrete Complementary Singapore Standard to SS EN 206-1), method for specifying concrete has been changed from previous Singapore Standards SS289. This seminar will introduce the concepts and requirements for specifying different types of concrete. Sustainability in the construction industry will remain a pipe-dream unless design for specified durable service life is the basis for all future construction. The presentation will also emphasise the durability and sustainability factor when specifying concrete. This course also explains the requirements on identity tests for indicating whether the defined volume of concrete under review belongs to the same population as that verified as confirming.CPD: 7 PDUs qualified by PE Board; 6 STUs (for RE & RTO)

Course SynopsisThe Building and Construction Authority has introduced the Euro codes as Singapores building code on 1 April 2015. With our origin and extensive network in Europe, VSL would like to share with our valued industry partners our work experience designing to the Euro codes. Post-tensioned concrete design in building works will be discussed and worked examples illustrated, where appropriate. ObjectivesDesign specifics, detailing of post-tensioning works and relevant hard wares to comply with Euro codes will be high-lighted. An example of a warehouse floor design comparing BS 8110 & EC2 will be briefly discussed.The SpeakersEr. Max Meyer, Group Technical Officer VSL InternationalCPD: 3 PDUs qualified by PE Board

The WSH (Design for Safety) Regulations was enacted on 10th July 2015. It will be effective from 1st Aug 2016 and requires stakeholders (i.e. Developers, Designers and Contractors) to work together with the common objective to address the risk at source.With this DfS Introduction Course, participant will understand the roles of responsibilities of stakeholders involving in the Design for Safety review process.CPD: 4PDUs by PE Board; 4STUs (for M&E RE/RTO); 2 STUs (Safety) for C&S RE/RTO

REGISTRATION BY 26 AUG 2016!SYNOPSIS: To prepare local structural engineering practitioners for the adoption of the Eurocodes in the design of reinforced concrete building structures, this 2-day workshop will approach the design of concrete building structures using Eurocodes in a comparison with BS 8110, which has been a familiar code of practice in Singapore. The workshop will contain lectures as well as hands-on tutorial sessions to provide participants with practical design experience.CPD: 14 PDUs qualified by PE Board; 12 STUs (for RE & RTO)

This course is organised to prepare civil, structural and geotechnical engineering practitioners, ground investigation and testing laboratories, builders and supervisory personnel on the design of earth-retaining walls and ground anchors particularly to Eurocode 7 in Singapore.

This course is organised to prepare civil, structural and geotechnical engineering practitioners, ground investigation and testing laboratories, builders and supervisory personnel for the understanding and adoption of the Eurocode 7 in Singapore.

This course is organised to prepare civil, structural and geotechnical engineering practitioners, ground investigation and testing laboratories, builders and supervisory personnel on the design of spread and axially loaded pile foundations particularly to Eurocode 7 in Singapore. The participants will be able to: (1) Appreciate and understand the design approach of foundations based on Eurocode 7 and its National Annexes; (2) Understand the use of Eurocode 7 on design and construction considerations for spread and axially loaded pile foundations; and (3) Understand the execution and testing requirements relating to foundations

Practice of Professional Engineering Examination has been implemented for a number of years. Engineers find the scope of the subjects is very wide, often engineers do not know how to approach and prepare for the examination. This course is aim to assist Engineer in preparation of the Examination. Board view and the purposeful meaning of the examination will be discussed, the trainer will brief weakness and common mistakes made by candidates who responded to the exam questions. This course will assist engineers to have in depth understanding of the Professional Engineer Act and Rule which most engineers find it is difficult to comprehend.

This course is design to assist engineer to prepare for Practical Professional Exam in Civil Engineering. The syllabus of the exam is very wide; many engineers do not know how to prepare for the exam. This course uses systemic approach to cover major topics. This course has three modules and it will be helpful for candidate to attend all three modules, however, candidates may also attend individual module to suit their work schedule. Work example will be discussed during the course with illustration on how regulatory requirement shall be applied. Module 1 PPE Exam objectives and Concept on Structure Framing (8 hrs): 13 Jan 2018 (Sat)Module 2 Conceptual Design for Structure (8 hrs): 27 Jan 2018 (Sat)Module 3 Regulatory Requirement, Act & Regulations, Conceptual Design for civil work and underground building work (8 hrs): 10 Feb 2018 (Sat)
