Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Industry training (CPD)
Professor Aleksandar Pavic and Professor Paul Reynolds run two CPD courses on vibrations theory and vibration serviceability, in association with the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE)
The courses are designed for civil and structural engineers dealing with problems of building and structural vibration, including the following specific types of structures: buildings, footbridges, and stadia.
Courses we teach
Vibration Serviceability: Fundamental Vibrations Theory
Date: 11 December 2018
Time: 10:00 - 17:30
Location: The Institution of Structural Engineers, International HQ, 47-58 Bastwick Street, London, EC1V 3PS, United Kingdom
Bookings: Book via the IStructE website
The course is recommended for those relatively new to the field of structural vibrations and who need to build their understanding of vibration theory.
By the end of the course, you should be able to:
- Understand the key background theory used in vibration serviceability design and assessment
- Understand the theoretical background of vibration testing and signal analysis
Vibration Serviceability: Applications
Date: 12 December 2018
Time: 10:00 - 17:30
Location: The Institution of Structural Engineers, International HQ, 47-58 Bastwick Street, London, EC1V 3PS, United Kingdom
Bookings: Book via the IStructE website
This course builds on the theoretical knowledge presented during the Vibration Serviceability: Fundamental Vibrations Theory course, with a focus on applications. It will cover vibration serviceability design and assessment, structural performance monitoring and vibration mitigation.
By the end of the course, you should be able to:
- Understand the process for checking vibration serviceability of floors, footbridges, grandstands and tall buildings.
- Have an appreciation of vibration testing and monitoring technologies
- Have an appreciation of the main mitigation technologies available for dealing with vibration serviceability problems
Feedback from course participants
Very good course overall. Based on the courses I have attended over the years, the speakers are the key to making the course successful or not. The combination of lecturing professors that also practise on a commercial basis was a huge benefit.
A big thanks to the two presenters. Very knowledgeable people. Good presentation skills.
Fantastic speakers, well presented course, both very personable and helpful. Thank you.
