This CPD module, sponsored by Griffiths & Armour, offers guidance to engineers on when they should notify their professional indemnity insurers about potential claims on their policy.
CPD模块,由法拉t, discusses the use of structural thermal breaks to reduce energy transfer and loss between structurally loaded building details.
This CPD module, sponsored by MAPEI, introduces the use of FRP for the structural strengthening of reinforced concrete structures. It provides an overview of the composite materials and the design approach for flexural, shear and axial strengthening.
Graham Coult and Mauro Overend discuss recent advances in the use of glass in structural design and look forward to the release of a draft Eurocode.
This article considers the implications of adopting a carbon-driven design approach – with the express intent of limiting the embodied carbon of the structure.
This article explains how designing for adaptability, durability, and deconstruction and reconstruction or end of life can produce long-lasting, resilient timber buildings that act as a carbon store.
The IStructE Membership team reports on changes to the assessment process leading to professional registration which will come into force in 2023.
Kristy MacDonald provides a summary of the key revisions to the Institution’s new Code of Conduct.
David MacKenzie discusses the importance of structural safety in the design and construction phase and ways in which risks can be mitigated.
2022 IStructE President Jane Entwistle explains why structural engineers need to learn to value their past, to respect the skills and decisions made in the past and work with them to provide a better future built environment.
Umut Akguzel describes his research into seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete structures using advanced composites, which won the Institution's inaugural Research into Practice essay competition in 2019.
艾伦·曼,一个长期存在的方法al Engineer Editorial Advisory Group, looks back at the publication's history as it marks its centenary.
This paper describes the demolition of the central suspended span of the Huntingdon Railway Viaduct, which crosses the East Coast Main Line on the west side of the Cambridgeshire town.
This article provides an overview of the recent refurbishment and upgrade of the IMAX cinema located in the Ronson Theatre at London's Science Museum, including discussion of the initial investigations of the existing structure.
22 Bishopsgate was erected on the site of an abandoned project, reusing 100% of the existing foundations from three previous buildings, and incorporating more than 50% of the basement built for its predecessor. This article describes the approach to reusing the existing foundations and basement, as well as the focus on material efficiency in designing the superstructure and transfer structures.
This month's letters discuss design responsibilities, knowledge sharing, and the value of grammar in communicating clearly.
John Lyness recommends this book to all of those who are interested in the development of structural forms, those developing physical models, and those structural analysts making physical model comparisons with CAD output.
Mike Cook takes hope from his inspirational book which illuminates a path towards the profound transformation required to arrive at a sustainable future for the planet.
Editor-in-Chief, Leroy Gardner, has selected a paper on the flexural buckling resistance of high-strength aluminium alloy H-columns as his ‘Featured Article’ from this issue. The article will be available free of charge for six months.
