These are papers written for the Institution of Structural Engineers to provide an insight into the practicalities of regenerating buildings. To sustainably re-use existing building it is necessary to understand the structure of the building and the materials used. The following articles give an overview of building material and construction methods in the last 30 – 60 years and the hidden issues arising from using these methods and materials.

These papers will be published in the Institute of Structural Engineers monthly magazine “The Structural Engineer”.
