Nada Elkady and colleagues describe their research-based work to design a steel transfer truss resistant to progressive collapse. The project won the Institution’s Research into Practice case study competition in 2022.
The lecture covers robustness and disproportionate collapse in all building types, with a focus on existing buildings, as well as an introduction to the IStructE book's second edition.
Updated guidance on designing for structural robustness and the prevention of disproportionate collapse through the consideration of risk.
Umut Akguzel describes his research into seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete structures using advanced composites, which won the Institution's inaugural Research into Practice essay competition in 2019.
