The Institution of Structural Engineer’s Chartered Membership Examination is highly regarded both nationally and internationally and requires the candidate to rapidly justify their initial design concepts. This handbook is written specifically for those who are preparing to sit the examination, but it should also prove useful to all those involved in preparing outline and
scheme stage designs on a day-to-day basis.
How to use this handbook:
This handbook is laid out to reflect the examination questions; to date these have followed the same format.
Section 1 of the examination is the design appraisal and this is covered in Section 2, which provides essential information required to assist in answering this part of the examination.
Section 2 of the examination is divided into three parts; firstly (section 2c) there is the requirement to prepare sufficient calculations to establish the size and form of all the principal structural elements. Guidance is given in Section 3 of this handbook.
Section 2d requires the candidate to prepare plans, sections and elevations, including critical details, for estimating purposes; examples are given in Section 4. Finally section 2e requires detailed method statements and often an outline programmer to be prepared and this is covered in Section 5.
Readers should appreciate that this publication is written for the structural engineer practicing in the UK. Whilst many of the principles can be applied to structures around the world, it must be clearly understood that environmental and geographical factors encountered may be significantly different. It is also written with the design of building structures in mind rather than bridges or offshore structures. The requirements for question 8, structural dynamics, are not specifically covered.

-------------------------------------------------------- Post Edited - New working link Apr, 11, 2.010
--------------------------------------------------------
The introduction of European standards to UK construction is a significant event as for the first time all design and construction codes within the EU will be harmonized. The ten design standards (Eurocodes) will affect all design and construction activities as current British Standards for structural design are due to be withdrawn in 2010.
The cement and concrete industry recognized the need to enable UK design professionals to use Eurocode 2, Design of concrete structures, quickly, effectively, efficiently and with confidence.
Supported by government, consultants and relevant industry bodies, the Concrete Industry Eurocode 2 Group (CIEG) was formed in 1999 and this Group has provided the guidance for a coordinated and collaborative approach to the introduction of Eurocode 2. As a result, a range of resources are being delivered by the concrete sector.
The aim of this publication, Concise Eurocode 2, is to distil from Eurocode 2 and other Eurocodes the material that is commonly used in the design of concrete framed buildings.

Steel-Reinforced Concrete Structures: Assessment and Repair of Corrosion
info:
A practical guide to the maintenance of concrete structures, this book provides procedures for corrosion diagnosis and determining the appropriate methods for repair, as well as an economic model for on-site decision making. It includes new ways of protecting steel-reinforced bars and the latest methods for repairing them. The author explains the importance of implementing an integrity management system to provide for a comprehensive maintenance strategy and concludes with coverage of the traditional, time-tested, and advanced repair techniques. A special feature is a chapter focusing on the advance maintenance plan philosophy and risk-based maintenance for reinforced concrete structures.

Concrete Pavement Design Guidance Notes
By Thom Griffiths
Publisher: Spon Press
Number Of Pages: 168
Publication Date: 2007-06-18
This book is a comprehensive design guide summarising current best practice for the design of concrete pavements. Following an overview of the theory involved, the author details optimum design techniques and best practice, with a focus on highway and infrastructure projects.
Worked examples and calculations are provided to describe standard design methods, illustrated with numerous case studies. The author provides guidance on how to use each method on particular projects, with reference to UK, European and US standards and codes of practice.
Concrete Pavement Design: Guidance Notes is an essential handbook for civil engineers, consultants and contractors involved in the design and construction of concrete pavements. It will also be of interest to students of pavement design

Product Description:
The book systematically presents variational principles and methods of analysis for applied elasticity and structural mechanics. The variational approach is used consistently for both, constructing numerical procedures and deriving basic governing equations of applied mechanics of solids; it is the derivation of equations where this approach is most powerful and best grounded by mathematics. The book is oriented towards experts in civil engineering, researchers, developers of software for mechanical strength, stability, and oscillation analysis; it can be used by practical engineers who employ software tools to do their job and who want to know more about the theoretical background of the strength analysis. The book will be useful to senior and postgraduate students of engineering, to professors of structural analysis at civil or mechanical engineering departments of technical universities.

Soil strength and slope stability
James Michael Duncan, Stephen Gailord Wright
Wiley & Sons, 2005
University of Michigan
ISBN 0471691631, 9780471691631
state-of-the-art guidance to soil strength and slope-stability analysis
Through clear, concise language and practical examples, Soil Strength and Slope Stability describes state of the art methods for evaluating soil strength, and for analysis, design and stabilization of slopes in soil. The principles of limit equilibrium analysis, and appropriate use of computer programs are emphasized. Methods are described for checking the results of complex analyses, and for presenting results of slope stability analyses clearly. These are illustrated through many examples.
