The CPD module, sponsored by Farrat, 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.
This CPD module, sponsored by IDEA StatiCa UK, introduces CBFEM, a method to analyse and design connections of steel structures, which is a synergy of the standard approach to connection design (component method) and finite elements.
This article offers some solutions to help structural engineers design efficient timber buildings.
This Technical Guidance Note introduces the analysis and design methods for post-fixed anchors and explains how they can be applied.
The article explores ways to justify reuse of existing structures through a thorough understanding of the original building structure, and engineer’s intent.
Steve Faulkner briefl y explains how the Institution’s new Responsibility Matrix will help clarify an engineer’s responsibilities on a project.
Mike Webster explains how Institution members will benefit from a change to CPD requirements that puts a greater emphasis on structural safety.
Marketing expert, David Brett, shares his top tips on how to ensure your webinar goes to plan and makes the right impression on your audience.
This article gives an overview of the careers of several pioneering women in the civil and structural engineering fields over the past 200 years.
Steven Brindle explores the history of the civil engineering profession from the 17th century to the founding of professional institutions in the early 19th century.
Carefully designed feedback events can have a significant impact upon understanding of structural behaviour for students preparing for professional status, according to this study at the University of Salford.
This article describes the climate-positive design for the campus of the Rwanda Institute for Conservation Agriculture.
This article describes the design of Hams Way Footbridge from concept through to construction, including an assessment of the embodied carbon.
The article showcases the University of East Anglia's Enterprise Centre project, a low-carbon, sustainable building which achieves both Passivhaus standard and BREEAM Outstanding rating.
Angus McFarlane recommends this book to structural engineers who wish to advance their knowledge of prefabrication and modular construction.
通过引入认知机器,cybernetic processes that define structural engineering as a discipline are facing rapid change. However, by looking objectively at design as a cybernetic process, we can better understand the risks and rewards and find an optimum way for humans and machines to work in partnership, argues Paul Mullett.
This month's letters discuss safety factors and design codes, the sustainable use of materials in the climate emergency and the rising costs of professional indemnity insurance, among other topics.
