Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) will be hosting a webinar on Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th January 2025 (10:00am - 11:45am)

Webinar info:

The construction of multi-storied buildings is reaching new heights. Factors such as construction speed, self-weight, deflections, and wall thickness are critical, making smart wall systems a more viable option compared to traditional brick masonry. What are the current design practices? What methods, systems, and procedures are used? What are the advantages and disadvantages? To address these questions and provide a systematic understanding of the subject, this free hybrid CPD training course on smart wall systems in multi-storied buildings has been arranged.

The undersigned—a PhD graduate from the University of London, Chartered Engineer (CEng), and a member of MICE and MASCE—has half a century of professional experience. These courses are conducted under a license from the Pakistan Engineering Council and in the capacity of country representative of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). These courses can be used towards your ICE CPD record and earning credit points related to the Pakistan Engineering Council. These courses aim to elevate local engineers to a global standard and are offered at no cost to participants, with no commercial gain for the instructor.
