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.
This CPD module, sponsored by SCIA, examines the analysis and design of steel-and-concrete composite columns.
Eiki Homma and Andrew Lawrence present a study examining the impact of secondary components on the upfront embodied carbon of a timber superstructure.
This article briefly discusses how good detailing results in robust and longer-standing structures, leading to gains in sustainability and economy over time. The article serves as a point of reference for designers during the design process and beyond into the service life.
Sanja Buncic provides an introduction to moisture management in mass timber structures, including key design, site-handling and installation principles.
This month's report concerns durability issues with engineered timber due to water ingress or condensation issues. Engineered timber appears to disintegrate more quickly than conventional timber, resulting in structural failure rather than distortion.
Vivien Dent and Alex Dent introduce the AGS and explain how its members' work can support that of structural engineers.
This month we present a report concerning the monitoring of photovoltaic panels and lessons learned from current experience.
Romilly Bobby, the winner of the Institution's Kenneth Severn Award 2024, asks three questions of the structural engineering profession: where are we going? How will we get there? And what should we bring?
As the IStructE's Yorkshire Regional Group celebrates its centenary in 2024, this article looks back at its foundation and early years, as well as more recent activities which help this thriving committee to continue serving its members.
Tanya de Hoog, 2024 IStructE President, addresses the membership with a focus on technical expertise, collaboration and aligned action.
This article explores the project aims, challenges, solutions and lessons learned in redeveloping an existing 1980s quayside office block in southwest England.
This article discusses the project to assess the dynamic characteristics of the Malaysia Square Pedestrian Bridge, London.
This article gives an overview of the design process and unique engineering challenges of the Cody Dock Rolling Bridge in London.
This month's letters include additional references for the June issue's Regent Street disease article and discussions about seismic design and minimum qualifications for carrying out structural engineering services.
This book is a must-read for engineering leaders, offering a fresh perspective and practical guidance on embedding diversity, equity and inclusion into the profession, writes Mariska van der Velden.
This month's letters cover codes for seismic design, as well as praise for articles published on covered timber bridges and reusing concrete.
The Library holds books on all aspects of durability, across different materials – ranging from properties to performance and subsequent inspection, maintenance and repair.
This article reveals the winning papers for the Structures prizes 2024: Best Research Paper and Best Research into Practice Paper. It also highlights the Editor's Featured Article for Volume 62.
In this feature, we share news, updates and initiatives from the Institution's regional group network around the world. This month, regional groups from British Columbia, Devon & Cornwall, Scotland and Singapore share their updates.
