This month's letters consider the division of responsibilities when designing steel frames and connections, as well as ways to attract school-leavers to the structural engineering profession.
This holistic introduction to the design, fabrication and welding of steel structures is both a useful textbook for students and reminder for experienced designers, concludes Thomas Cosgrove.
Tom Shire finds the 'less is more' approach of this book appealing to students looking for a straightforward and accessible textbook, but suspects UK undergraduates would prefer a book written specifically for a British audience.
