Four great Structural Award winners that exemplify the new Structural Awards

This half-day in-person course provides guidance to early-career structural engineers to develop a better understanding of geotechnical engineering and use that knowledge to enhance and promote sustainable design.

Co-organised by the Institution of Structural Engineers and the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

This popular course offers a series of interactive sessions, supported by individual study. It is designed to empower participants with the skills and knowledge needed to design structures that achieve net-zero emissions.

This one-day, online advanced practical workshop teachs complex timber engineering through worked examples. It encourages problem-solving through teaching tools and group discussion.

This one-day, online course offers an introduction to timber design to Eurocode 5.

An interactive conference connecting engineering educators and industry to explore and shape the future of engineering education.

Influence in practice: delivering sustainable, resilient and collaborative outcomes.

This on-demand forum will address the trends, technologies and challenges shaping the future of structural engineering practice.

In this blog, Craig McFadyen FIStructE, and Jack Brunton MIStructE share their views on how early involvement in concept design lets structural engineers shape form, strategy and material use to cut embodied carbon from the very start.

The Climate Emergency Task Group help the profession to tackle climate breakdown. Their 2025-6 report reviews the group’s activities through the year.

This article describes the project for a new boathouse for Newnham College in Cambridge, which uses locally grown green timber and woven willow in its construction.

Meeting the embodied carbon targets of the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard will require both efficient and sustainable designs and innovations in material science and production techniques. Ben Gholam explores what can be achieved today when designing multistorey residential buildings and what might help to bridge the gap in future years.

This note discusses analysis modelling considerations specific to mass timber structures. Part 2 looks at element properties and types, hybrid/composite structures and connections, as well as presenting a short example.

Institution President Brian Uy FIStructE, reminds us of the responsibility structural engineers have in shaping the built environment to support a sustainable and resilient tomorrow.

Pete Gates, Arthur Coates, Eva Gaal and Kaloyana Kostova – all members of the IStructE Structural Futures Committee – examine the carbon-reduction route maps of the UK steel, concrete and timber industries, considering the role structural engineers can play to reduce an apparent gap between the net-zero target and the speed of decarbonisation actually envisaged.
