<h4>Managing risk in structural isolation</h4>

Managing risk in structural isolation

Structural engineers will require and enforce specifications for materials like steel and concrete but will rarely apply the same standards to structural isolation bearings. Here, Adam Fox, engineer and director of structural isolation specialist Mason UK, explains why overlooking bearing design means introducing an unacceptable level of risk.
