Book review: How Structures Work: Design and Behaviour from Bridges to Buildings (2nd ed.)

This month's letters return to the Ronan Point failure; continue the discussion on the public perception of structural engineering; consider how the profession has changed over time; and look back at the introduction of professional indemnity cover and computers.

This comprehensive guide to prestressed concrete design is aimed at students and recent graduates, but will also be of use to more experienced practising engineers in Australia, concludes David Morris.

This thorough guide will make a useful primer for clients, and indeed engineers, who are starting out in the world of BIM, believes Steve Buckley.
