The Institution of Structural Engineers - IStructE is the world’s leading professional body for structural engineering. It is the appropriate source of relevant and considered opinion on all structural engineering and public safety issues in the built environment.

The Institution has some 21,000 members in 105 countries around the world, and is recognised internationally for the technical and professional competence of its members. Its image is one of safety, efficiency and excellence both of its operations and in the standards of its members. The Institution qualifies its members by examinations that test professional competence in structural engineering design.

The Structural Engineer - The Structural Engineer is published twice monthly by IStructE and is a major vehicle for communication with members worldwide.

First published in 1923, the Journal is supplied to all members of IStructE and to additional subscribers including libraries, universities, research bodies and various companies.

The Structural Awards - The Structural Awards are the world's pre-eminent awards for structural engineering excellence.

Run by The Institution of Structural Engineers, the annual awards celebrate the work of the world's most talented structural designers and their indispensable contribution to the built environment.

Structural engineers work on a huge variety and range of developments, from breathtaking landmark structures to small heritage projects. The aim of the Structural Awards is to recognise and reward excellence wherever it is found.

Findanengineer.com - Findanengineer.com is the UK's only search facility dedicated to companies employing chartered structural engineers.

All companies on Findanengineer.com have at least one Chartered Member of IStructE (the Institution of Structural Engineers) working for them, which means you can trust the reputation and quality of the companies your search generates.

IStructE Photo Library - A fully searchable database of photographs showcasing structural engineering from around the world.

The IStructE Photo Library has been established to provide educational support for schools, as well as a facility for IStructE members to archive their photographs and images.

All images stored in the Library are free to download and can be used for any non-commercial purpose.

Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT) - EEFIT is a group of British earthquake engineers, architects and academics who seek to collaborate with colleagues in earthquake prone countries in the task of improving the seismic resistance of both traditional and engineered structures.

Structural Engineers Registration Ltd - Structural Engineers Registration Ltd (SER Ltd) has been appointed by The Scottish Building Standards Agency (SBSA) to administer a scheme for Certification of Design (Building Structure). The Scheme was established as a result of a joint initiative by the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) and the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) This initiative was driven by new legislation introduced in Scotland – the Building (Scotland) Act 2003.

Standing Committee on Structural Safety (SCOSS) - SCOSS - the Standing Committee on Structural Safety - is an independent body established by the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Institution of Structural Engineers and others in 1976 to maintain a continuing review of building and civil engineering matters affecting the safety of structures.

Confidential Reporting on Structural Safety (CROSS) - CROSS is helping to improve structural safety and reduce failures by using confidential reports to publicise lessons that have been learnt and to generate feedback and influence change. Most projects are designed, constructed, and maintained in a safe and proper manner but in some cases there are resolutions to problems that can be passed on.
