Book review: Transparent shells: Form, topology, structure

This month we bring you another question from the Institution’s Structural Behaviour Course. The topic is bending moment diagrams for portal frames.

In this section we shine a spotlight on papers recently published in Structures – the Research Journal of The Institution of Structural Engineers. Structures is a collaboration between the Institution and Elsevier, publishing internationally-leading research across the full breadth of structural engineering which will benefit from wide readership by academics and practitioners. Access to Structures is free to Institution members (excluding Student members) as one of their membership benefits, with access provided via the “My account” section of the Institution website. The journal is available online at: www.structuresjournal.org

Upcoming events at HQ and around the regional groups.
