The Drawing Board (May 2018)

In this section we shine a spotlight on papers recently published in Structures – the Research Journal of The Institution of Structural Engineers. This month we highlight eight papers shortlisted for the Structures prizes in 2018: the Best Research Paper Prize and the Best Research into Practice Paper Prize. Members are encouraged to explore these papers. Access to Structures is free to Institution members (excluding Student members) as one of their membership benefits, with access provided via the ‘My account’ section of the Institution website. The journal is available online at: www.structuresjournal.org

即将来临的事件在总部和区域组织ps.

This month's letters continue the debate about innovation in structural engineering; discuss the importance of understanding how a building is to be constructed; offer some thoughts on a recent article on performance-based seismic design; and lament the loss of engineering graduates to more lucrative professions.
