Diary dates (January 2018)

Enquiries received in the Library on fire engineering can be categorised broadly into six headings. * Fire properties and performance of materials * Fire-resistant design *Fire management * Fire damage assessment and repair * Standards * Case studies This article lists a selection of what the Library has on these subjects and the most frequently requested items.

In this section we shine a spotlight on papers recently published in Structures – the Research Journal of The Institution of Structural Engineers. This month, we preview the latest issue (Volume 12), with Editor-in-Chief, Professor Leroy Gardner, selecting three highlights from the issue.

This month's letters are on the former Institution Yearbook, the magazine's 'And finally...' brainteasers, chases in party walls, building control procedures and the merits of life drawing classes.
