All Journal articles here are written by humans, not AI. We share our own engineering expertise, experience, and perspective because if you’re taking the time to read it, we’d like to make it worthwhile. Expect real opinions, real life, and the odd typo.
Responsibility and risk when it comes to foundations
Building Control regulations and responsibilities are evolving, so there’s a debate around whther Structural Engineers are carrying greater responsibility for foundation design than ever before. We explore why professional judgement, proportionate ground investigations and clear guidance matter if we're to design safe, resilient buildings.
Cracks and foundations in our changing climate
As hotter, drier summers become more common, foundation movement and subsidence are expected to increase. We explore what this means for buildings and how thoughtful structural engineering can help future-proof new developments.
