Editorial objectives

Widely regarded as a highly influential and authoritative voice in its field, Structural Survey looks at the major issues facing the profession today. Many buildings erected in the last forty years are already displaying structural defects; the conservation of historic buildings presents quite different problems; refurbishment often requires a balancing act between owner demands and health and safety regulations; materials and their suitability for construction work is another field requiring a degree of expertise. These areas and others are dealt with in a lively, literate and entertaining journal which informs, comments and presents important case histories and research findings.
