Business Practice Note No. 25: Reporting wrongdoing

The IStructE has published a new guide aiming to clarify the role of the structural engineer in designing building structures for fire and explain how compliance with the functional requirements of the Building Regulations can be achieved.

This month's report raises concerns regarding the fire performance of resin-based anchoring systems and fibre-reinforced polymer strengthening solutions used within building structures, particularly in retrofit and alteration projects.

A new IStructE guide provides a quality assurance and control framework to support the development, use and verification of software-based calculation models.
