The climate emergency is the greatest threat to our planet. Structural engineers have a responsibility to help mitigate its effects by changing the way buildings and infrastructure are designed, commissioned and constructed.
As structural engineers, being aware of the latest challenges that are at the forefront of developments and innovations within the built environment, is key.
The influence of the digital world is increasing its impact on those involved with the built environment, whilst our capability to exploit data to inform designs and push the boundaries of what is possible is at the heart of structural engineering.
Curated by qualified librarians, our collection of structural engineering literature spans more than 250 years: making it one of the UK's most comprehensive specialist engineering resources.
Structural engineers are vital to the development of resilient societies as they will consider and address the issues associated with structural resilience and structural adaptation.

IStructE believes that ongoing risk assessment of structures is critical. Investigators will review the pier design and changes to vessel impact protection devices to determine potential shortfalls in risk management. Bridge expert Ian Firth, independent consultant, IStructE’s past-President and a Fellow shared his views.
This blog discusses the generation gap within structural engineering and offers a framework in the form of three different perspectives (the attitude gap, the approach gap, and the learning gap) to achieve better understanding and more effective teamwork.
This lecture explores how structural engineers can become regenerative practitioners… and why they must.
This annual update provided an overview of the ongoing work carried out by two fibUK commissions and the fib model code.
The PCC reports on three disciplinary cases
The Disciplinary Board found that a Chartered Member failed to provide a brief or breakdown of costs before commencing work; failed to accept numerous instructions from the Owners to terminate work; made unfounded and derogatory assertions about the Complainants that were reckless, and which injured the reputation of the Complainants; failed to uphold the reputation of the profession; and failed to act with integrity and fairness.
The PCC found that a Graduate Member failed to respond to requests from the checking engineer; failed to demonstrate the competency required to undertake work that involved basement works with adjacent properties; failed to provide evidence of Professional Indemnity insurance cover; and failed to provide adequate terms of engagement.
