The University of Bristol: 12^th-16^th May 2025

The Structural Integrity Course provides a comprehensive programme covering the key aspects of assessing engineering structures and components under the effects of harsh environments, mechanical loading and high temperatures.

This course presents the fundamental aspects of the different types of corrosion, in terms of both mechanism and corrosion control. The lecture sessions integrate the different parameters that contribute to structural failure, helping delegates to appreciate the impact of design on the risk of failure. Examples of corrosion-induced failures will be provided via case studies from different industries.

Who Should Attend

This course will be of interest to all those involved in material performance and selection and design and/or risk assessment of components/structures operating under complex environmental and loading scenarios.

Learning Outcomes

• 
Understand the key damage mechanisms relating to the different forms of corrosion and environment-assisted cracking in metallic components such as steels and corrosion-resistant alloys.
• 
Identify key material properties that are impacted in components operating within industrial environments. Be aware of testing procedures used to obtain key information on the corrosion and environment-assisted cracking resistance of engineering materials.
• 
Appreciate Risk Based Inspectionassessment approaches to evaluate margins of safety of engineering structures and understand key arguments that can be used to improve/reduce conservatism in assessments.
• 
Recognise the industrial and economic benefitsof implementing a pro-active approach to structural integrity design methods to assure the quality of high-performance metallic products.
