This participation-based badge is awarded to participants who have completed the 6-week course on Structural Detailing and Damage Assessments, which includes compulsory pre-reading and attending 6 webinars. Upon completion of the training, participants are able to:

• Explain the difference between earthquake and blast loading and the critical design considerations for each
• Determine the fundamental behaviour of a structural system and how will load transfer throughout the structure.
• Determine the types of failure that can occur in a local element and how to visually identify them on site.
• Describe the methods of structural analysis for the purpose of performance based design.
• Determine the most suitable retrofit approach for different structural defects locally or globally.
• Describe good construction practice for a retrofit or repair for resilient structure.
