Verulam (readers' letters - March 2018)

Rob Bell is inspired by this insightful and highly personal account of the engineering behind our built environment, which offers the public a window onto the secrets of the structural engineering profession.

This month we present another question from the Institution's Structural Behaviour Course, looking at the forces in a truss.

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 content of Volume 13 (February 2018). 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
