Structural earthquake engineering design

NORSAR, NGI (Norwegian Geotechnical Institute), RIF (Consulting Engineers’ Association) and Standards Norway offer a course in the use of Eurocode 8 - Design of earthquake resistant structures, 15-16 November 2018.

Since March 2010, EUROCODE is the only valid standard for structural engineering design in Norway. EUROCODE 8 is probably one of the the codes which deviates most from what the Norwegian professional community has been used to. At the same time, earthquakes will represent a more dominant factor in structural design than before.

The course will be held in Lillestrøm, outside Oslo, 15-16 November 2018, and is suited for those who is responsible for, and deal with structural enginrering design in Norway. It will be held in Norwegian, with the exception of a couple of Englsih lectures.

  • Will reduce costly damage from ground construction work

    Damage caused by the ground constructions such as excavations, can lead to delays and large extra costs for many projects. Often, neighbouring buildings at are risk. In the R&D-project REMEDY, 18 partners have joined forces on behalf of an entire industry to reduce the risk of material and economic damage as a result of the ground construction work.
