This month we present a report about the structural stability of cantilever glass infill panels between a steel post and handrail balustrade system at a high-level apartment block.
This month we present a report about a permanent works design engineer who noticed that hydro-demolition of the end of a floor supporting beam had taken place out of sequence. This introduced a pattern of bending moments and shear forces that were not considered in the original design.
This month we present a report concerning the partial collapse of a cantilevered stone staircase without warning during a renovation at a stately home built around 1830.
