Introducing Elevate – the Institution's new mentoring programme

This month's report discusses how a design/modelling problem caused an under-designed reinforced concrete slab to be constructed.

Following the publication of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry's final report into the tragedy, the Institution of Structural Engineers will play its part in delivering the change needed to ensure public safety.

Will Arnold, the IStructE's Head of Climate Action, explains the background to a UK standard that defines a 'net-zero carbon-aligned' building, and urges members to put it into practice on their projects.
