This CPD module, sponsored by Trimble, explores the benefits of integrating ongoing carbon assessments into the modelling workflow for a structure.
This CPD module, sponsored by GRAITEC UK, explores the structural analysis and design of solar panel mounting structures made of cold-formed steel.
This CPD module, sponsored by Oasys, explains what we mean by accuracy and precision, looks at possible causes of inaccuracy when conducting a finite-element analysis and discusses the role of validation and verification in checking the accuracy of modelling output.
One of the most popular ways to connect bamboo culms is to use dowel-type fasteners, including dowels, bolts, screws, nails and similar. This worked example presents a connection design using screws and metal plates, similar to a common connection method in timber structures.
Gloria Wong and Trieska Wahyudi share their experiences in the 3D modelling of underground structures (primarily stations) for design, including the key lessons they have learned and the process flows they have developed consequently.
This article seeks to equip engineers with more knowledge about ruins. Building on Part 11 of the Conservation compendium, 'A career in ruins (the challenges presented by derelict structures)' , it provides further sources of information from a UK perspective for those engineers who look after them.
This month we present a CROSS Safety Alert drawing attention to the safety risks associated with preventing the operation of smoke vents in buildings.
Roger Johnson, Wojciech Lorenc and Wolfgang Kurz provide a brief overview of a new part to Eurocode 4, covering composite dowels, which is currently in development for planned publication in 2026.
This month's report discusses the potential fire safety risks of scaffolding when it is present around in-use buildings and the current risk assessment process.
As the IStructE Midlands Counties Regional Group reaches the end of its 2024 centenary celebrations, the Committee would like to use the occasion to reflect on the remarkable journey we've been on, the significant changes we've witnessed, and the proud achievements we've collectively made over the past 100 years.
Katie Hood, winner of the Research into Practice case study competition 2023, describes a project investigating the potential use of a low-carbon bricks for the repair of mass masonry walls after a significant fire.
This article explores the origins and development of the Design, Assemble and Dismantle (DAD) project at the University of Surrey from 2014 to the present. The project won the Excellence in Structural Engineering Education Award in 2023.
This article describes how the structural engineer team delivered the architectural vision of a 'floating' cube for the Arena Liga Portugal project in Porto.
This article examines how The Common House project in Bridport, UK, has its roots in the four key principles of regenerative design.
This article discusses a residential project involving the extensive remodelling and extension of an existing property to create a larger, more spacious and functional home for a young family.
A primary focus on operational carbon emissions means that this book offers less for structural engineers than the title implies, concludes Paul Astle.
This month's letters include contributions on recent CROSS Safety Reports and Viewpoints as well as the state of the industry.
Ian Poole draws on his experiences of a regenerative design programme to offer examples of radical initiatives being implemented today which present a path to a regenerative future.
In this feature, we share news, updates and initiatives from the Institution's regional group network around the world. This month, we hear from regional groups in the Caribbean, Hong Kong, Singapore and East Midlands.
A round-up of events at Institution HQ and around the regional groups.
Jason Ingham, Associate Editor, has selected a paper on tubular sandwich cross-sections made with metal additive manufacturing components as the Featured Article for Volume 67 of Structures .
