In his inaugural address, 2016 President of The Institution of Structural Engineers, Alan Crossman, discusses his own education and formative career, and reflects on how it compares to today’s education and career routes. He also outlines his priorities as President, which include the importance of promoting opportunity and flexibility in career development; the Institution’s vital global role (including his own interest in forging new links with the Indian profession); and the need to make sustainability a key element in the profession’s thinking.

<h4>More for less in seismic design for bridges – an overview of the Japanese approach</h4>

More for less in seismic design for bridges – an overview of the Japanese approach

Seismic design is often seen as a very specialist area in the UK, but a basic understanding of seismic design by structural engineers is very important in order to design a cost-effective structure where there is a seismic hazard. This paper aims to provide a simple explanation of some seismic design and analysis techniques for bridges adopted in Japan, which is located in one of the most seismically active zones in the world. The paper focuses particularly on the bearing and articulation systems of bridges because this is where there is a significant difference in the standard form of construction between non-seismic and seismic areas.
