We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Structural Engineers",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Giant drywalls for new retail park from
Knauf Drywall, which we summarised at the time by saying "Shops in anew retail park separated by secure drywalls from Knauf Drywall up to 11 metres high - and specially engineered to maintain strict fire resistance standards".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Software enhance structural engineers productivity from
Bentley Systems: "RAM Structural System V11.3 is Bentley's modeling, analysis, and design software for structural engineers involved in the design of building structures of all types".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Concrete Centre
concerning its Building Design to Eurocode 2
- take a look at Building Design to Eurocode 2
which says: "The Concrete Centre is to hold one-day course on Building Design to Eurocode 2: Theory and Worked Examples".
Take a look also at the news release from Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), Structural Awards 2008 opens for entries,
as well as Guidance for Eurocode 5 now available from Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE),
and Emirates Glass LEAF Awards Winners 2007 from LEAF Awards 2007.
