T105 Shading and solar control NEW DATE - now Monday 7 June 2010 (previously planned for Friday 11 June) This course covers design solutions to limit solar gain.   It includes the technical performance of solar control glasses and shading devices. The benefits of higher performance glasses and shading devices are compared. Design solutions including combinations of solar control glasses and shading devices are explored and methods of specifying are presented. The course will enable delegates to understand the specification of environmental control glasses and shading devices and to assess the performance of different design solutions.

S101 Structural analysis 1 Tuesday/Wednesday 13/14 July 2010 This course will cover the basic theory of structures required for the design of grid (stick) walls.  It will include loads (excluding wind loading), load paths, selection of profiles, support brackets, loads on fixings. Detail design considerations will include: general arrangement of members, location of joints and supports, mullion/transom joints and bracket/profile connections. The course applies to aluminium, steel and PVC-U framed walls.  The performance of composite and thermally broken profiles will also be covered. Successful completion of this course will enable the delegate to calculate stresses and deflections in a grid wall. BS8118, the UK code for structural design of aluminium, is due to be withdrawn on 31 March 2010 and will be replaced by the Eurocode for aluminium BS EN 1999-1-1. This course will refer to design in accordance with the Eurocode and highlight differences from BS8118. Pre-requisite: None Tutors:  Stephen Ledbetter, Alan Keiller CPD days: Two Venue: Bath

S103 Wind loading Thursday 15 July 2010 This course covers all aspects of wind load, the dominant loading on most cladding systems.  It follows on from course S101 and develops a full knowledge of the loads on cladding. The course covers the basic principles of wind loading.  It sets out the differences between wind loading on structures and that on cladding, including reversals of load and fatigue. BS6399 Part 2, the UK windloading code, is due to be withdrawn on 31 March 2010 and will be replaced by the Eurocode for windload, BS EN 1991-1-4. The course will refer to the assessment of windload in accordance with the Eurocode and highlight differences from BS 6399.   Successful completion of this course will enable the delegate to assess the wind loading on cladding and the effects of wind loading on cladding.
