In 2026, the Institution of Structural Engineers’ Benevolent Fund marks an important milestone: 90 years of supporting members and their families through challenging times.
In this blog, Craig McFadyen FIStructE, and Jack Brunton MIStructE share their views on how early involvement in concept design lets structural engineers shape form, strategy and material use to cut embodied carbon from the very start.
Meeting the embodied carbon targets of the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard will require both efficient and sustainable designs and innovations in material science and production techniques. Ben Gholam explores what can be achieved today when designing multistorey residential buildings and what might help to bridge the gap in future years.
Calculation Models is for engineers who understand that calculations are not just paperwork, but a record of professional judgment. This guide promotes consistancy, clarity and sound engineering judgment throughout the design process.
