Safety of society

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.

This course covers the design of common structural elements to Eurocode 2. Participants will be introduced to concrete material properties and learn about designing for durability and fire.

This course provides an introduction to structural steelwork design to Eurocode 3 for building design.

This course will provide engineers with the confidence to work with listed buildings, balancing protection of building fabric while managing safety.

This course provides guidance on specific aspects of demolition and refurbishment from an engineering perspective, while addressing safety, environmental and sustainability influences.

This one day, online course presents practical guidance on key aspects of preliminary scheme development and detailed scheme design in structural steelwork.

This course is designed to provide structural engineers with a greater understanding of fire safety, key legislation, and the principles of risk analysis in order to ensure that adequate structural performance in fire is achieved. You will examine case studies of structural and non-structural failures as a result of fire.

Think a cyber breach won't hit your firm? This session with Mitigo reveals what structural engineering leaders must do before the unexpected happens.

This two-part webinar series explores how structural engineers can apply inspection, assessment, and diagnostic techniques to identify degradation mechanisms and address risks that compromise the performance and safety of marine structures.

This month's report concerns an unresolved highway bridge inspection assessment with the CROSS Expert Panel urging dialogue with Network Rail's asset manager.

This lecture explores the delivery of an award‑winning, earthquake‑resistant project in rural Rwanda, examining context‑specific challenges of working with local materials in a seismic zone while building skills, supply chains, and lasting community impact.

Calculation Models is for engineers who understand that calculations are not just paperwork, but a record of professional judgment. This guide promotes consistency, clarity, and sound engineering judgment throughout the design process.

This month's report details the structural damage in a listed building after alterations that involved moving a spine wall and notching timber joists.

Whether delivering new-build designs or assessing existing buildings, structural engineers can ensure they follow best practice for building safety thanks to four new publications from the IStructE, explains Technical Director, Patrick Hayes.

World Day for Safety and Health at Work is a UN initiative to protect workers across the globe, and a reminder and opportunity to reflect on the vital role that safety plays across the built environment — and on the responsibility structural engineers hold throughout the life cycle of structures.
