Training course on cold-formed steel structures

ECCS, the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork is organizing a training course on the design of cold formed steel structures given by the authors of the manual themselves. The course is relevant for achitects, engineers, design offices and steel contractors. You can contact Sophie DELAIR, ECCS Communications Manager, for any further information (sophie.delair@steelcontruct.com).
