This paper describes the geotechnical and structural design challenges of an unusual tower crane foundation, as well as the particular construction and operational requirements.
This article covers how to understand whether a material is hazardous, what it can do to the health of humans and under what circumstances.
Alastair Soane reinforces the importance of structural surveys in helping to prevent serious accidents.
This note explains how steel elements are restrained against buckling and what the structural engineer should consider when analysing steel structures with respect to buckling resistance.
This note shows how to size elements, prior to detailed design. This process allows the engineer to gain an appreciation of structural form.
This paper presents the results from a comparative embodied carbon assessment of new commercial buildings focusing particularly on different structural forms.
This paper describes the sandwich slabs and the new forms of steel bridge design that have been realised by the sandwich slab technology.
