Publications and proceedings

Below is a sample of ICE publications relating to structures and buildings.

Structural systems: behaviour and design Volume 1: Plan structural systems

This volume provides readers with the fundamental concepts of structural systems, predominantly focusing on plane structural systems, including beams, frames, arches and cable structures.  Supported throughout with illustrative diagrams, this text enables a solid understanding of structural behaviour without dependence on computer-generated models.

This is the first in a two-volume series. Volume 2 focuses on the more advanced topics of spatial structural systems, foundations and dynamics.

Blast effects on Buildings (2nd edition)

This publication provides the latest practical guidance on designing buildings to optimise their resilience to blast loading.  This edition reflects significant developments in blast engineering since the early 1990s.  It provides engineers with a comprehensive source of reference for all the main elements of blast engineering design in modern practice.

The Middle East

This Civil Engineering special issue focuses on the Middle East.  Papers range from an outline of the history of development in the Middle East; to how principles of sustainability have been embraced and are currently being implemented in projects across the region; advances in understanding of regional geology; to case histories on landmark projects which have paved the way for future developments.
