Design guidance for structural engineers, other construction professionals and car park owners/operators.
Forming part of a four-volume series providing guidance on the 'stability system' of a building, the series focuses specifically on lateral load resisting systems, triangulated (framed) vertical bracing, shear walls and moment frames.
It can also be purchased as part of a four-part package.
Guidance for structural engineers and those working in a Building Control capacity, on how to prepare a systematic risk assessment for high-risk structures.
An overview of the advanced methods available for designing structures for fire resistance.
Guidance for structural engineers and surveyors on the methods and approaches taken to inspect, appraise and report on buildings and associated structures.
This new guidance provides helpful information for practicing structural engineers at all career stages.
A comprehensive introduction to the design of primary building structures during fire, for all principal structural materials.
Master conceptual design. Understand how to work from a client brief, produce viable structural solutions, and test the feasibility of your ideas
Discover the practical, theoretical and philosophical aspects of computerised analysis and design from key figures delivered in a witty and concise book.
Guidance for structural engineers and construction industry professionals experienced in more traditional materials - providing an insight into design methodology, specification, materials and techniques in the design and construction of glass structures.
An established reference source for any structural design office, this guidance is a working document on structural concrete - used to interpret designers' instructions in the form of drawings and schedules for communication to site.
Part of a four-part series providing guidance on the 'stability system' of a building. The series focuses specifically on lateral load resisting systems, triangulated (framed) vertical bracing, shear walls and moment frames.
An overview of the tasks undertaken by structural engineers during design and construction.
It can also be purchased as part of a two-volume package.
