Building design for fire engineers and architects
Many of the challenges that arise in construction projects can be eased with a greater understanding of other disciplines. This is the course for you if you are a professional in the construction sector and feel that you want to increase your understanding of the designer's challenges and how the structure of a building works.

Content of the course
The course contains a number of modules including:
- Basic building design,
- Different structural systems,
- Construction drawings,
- Simple calculations, and
- Introduction to fire engineering
In the modules, the subject is introduced and then examined through a quiz or through simple calculations.
Course structure
The course is a self-study course where it is possible to get contact with the teacher during the course. Exercises and study material are presented in the course room.
The course is entirely based on self-study, but enrolling in the course gives access to us as teachers for individualized advice.
To pass the course
To pass the course, it is required that all elements in the course room are completed.
Teachers
Joakim Sandström, Lecturer in Fire Engineering. Joakim defended his PhD in 2019 with a thesis that focused on personal safety in fire in relation to load-bearing structures. In parallel with his doctoral studies, Joakim has worked for 15 years as a consultant specializing in fire-prone load-bearing structures.
Martin Nilsson, assistant professor in structural engineering. Teaches mainly in building technology for real estate agents, building construction for civil engineers, architecture and fire engineers, building mechanics and concrete structures for civil engineers. Defended his doctoral thesis in 2003 on stresses in young concrete, which has also been a post-doctoral research area. Now interested in the reuse of concrete elements.
