Grades of steelwork
A reporter says that engineers seem reluctant to specify the grade of steel. Even when prompted, some fail to request anything other than just S275 – failing to mention JR, J0, or other grades.

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.
