Speakers:
Dr David Brohn
Dr David Brohn, PhD, CEng, FIStructE, in the early 1970's, devised a test for an understanding of structural behaviour. The control group for the test was the graduate entry to the Arup Partnership. This course was devised for the Partnership and revealed that even engineers of many years experience are less than secure in applying an understanding of structural behaviour.
In the mid 1980's he set up the software company QSE to apply this concept to the design of a highly intuitive interface for structural analysis software.
He has continued to provide the training course for many of the world's leading firms of structural designers.
