Waterproofing exposed concrete slabs
This report highlights that water ingress into buildings continues to be a problem and discusses the role of the structural engineer when dealing with waterproofing of exposed concrete slabs. It shows how this can be achieved by careful design and detailing of the reinforced concrete structure and by close collaboration of all parties involved.

Connection fixity considerations for steel frame modelling
This report concerns the modelling of joints when using computer programs. In some cases, engineers are applying rotational releases to joints in models but subsequently designing the connections as rigid. This leaves a fundamental mismatch between analysis and design which may lead to unsafe structural connections argues a reporter.
