Structural and Stress Analysis (3rd ed.) (book review)

Adrian Long finds this to be a well-written and useful book, which will be of value to structural engineers involved in reinforced concrete design and, particularly, to lecturers thanks to its extensive list of references to research papers.

Letters this month include discussion on London's Garden Bridge, mast piling, waterbars and the relationship between design sketching and costing.

The latest papers accepted for publication in the Institution's new research journal, Structures. Access to Structures is free to all during 2015.
