Master the practical application of SIPS and calculate the structural capacities in structural insulated panels. Use advanced tools like Mathcad for precise analysis of steel and aluminium
Delve into the intricacies of "Structural Insulated Panels Part 2," a comprehensive course dedicated to the critical design and capacity of fixings in SIPs. This seminar meticulously explores the application of bolts, rivets, and screws in both steel and aluminum structures, guided by the Australian and New Zealand standards AS/NZS 4600 and 1664.
Gain a profound understanding of how to calculate fixing capacities, including:
Through practical MathCAD demonstrations and explanations of underlying spreadsheet calculations, you will learn to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world engineering problems. Enhance your expertise in structural design, ensuring the integrity and efficiency of SIP constructions. This course is essential for graduate engineers seeking to master the complexities of modern construction materials and methodologies.

With over 39 years’ experience in the industry, Andrew brought a very broad skill set to New Zealand. His recent work here has primarily involved Construction Monitoring of multi-storey precast concrete apartment blocks, the design of new buildings, as well as the inspection and appraisal of existing buildings (including seismic assessments). He also managed structural projects from concept to completion, looking after progress, quality, client satisfaction and coordination of all those involved. As a Chartered Civil Engineer, Andrew has held numerous senior and executive-level positions across the UK and NZ. His extensive commercial experience includes the design and construction of steel, concrete, composite, timber and masonry structures on new build and refurbishment projects, ranging from the small and traditional to the large and innovative. His work covers the residential, commercial, retail, leisure, medical and defence sectors, with designs in line with British, European, US and New Zealand standards.
