The selection and installation of construction fixings
SCOSS has been concerned for some time at the use of structural fixings where these so called minor items have not received the attention they deserve given their safety critical nature.

The potential for expertise asymmetry in aspects of the design of tall buildings in the UK
A reporter is concerned about the potential for 'expertise asymmetry' in the fire safety domain, with a focus on smoke control systems.

Control of temporary works excavation
Poor, high-water content excavated material, slipped into a 15-20m deep borrow pit. The material had slipped to the bottom of the pit partially burying excavation, crushing and screening equipment. If this slip had occurred during working hours, the impact could have been very serious.

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.
