The Structures and Construction division is for structural engineers and civil engineers with an interest in professional design practices and contracting roles in both the public and private sectors as well as academia.
The Conservation Register for Engineers (CARE) is for engineers skilled in the conservation of historical structures and sites. It is a joint Register between the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) and is administered by ICE. Under a bilateral registration agreement civil and structural engineers who are Chartered Engineer members can join the CARE Register.

The EU drive towards green energy is seeking to harness a traditionally clean power source – with some tweaks.
Builders of this sustainable complex are also upgrading the hydro power plant to make it more environment friendly and efficient.
Inspired by the material that makes up oyster and abalone shells, engineers have created a new cement composite that is 17 times more crack-resistant than standard cement and 19 times more able to stretch and deform without breaking. The findings could eventually help increase the crack resistance of a wide range of brittle ceramic materials from concrete to porcelain.
First of its kind AI-model can help policy-makers efficiently identify and prioritise houses for retrofitting and other decarbonising measures.
As housing crises rage across the world, we need a new approach to urban land ownership and architecture, write Cem S Kayatekin and Lorenzo Uribe Sanmiguel, IE University, Spain.
Retrofitting technology to large-scale existing cement production plants will prove that it is technically possible to produce low-carbon cement efficiently at scale. With the right incentives in place by governments and the construction sector, almost all cement produced around the world could be low-carbon, writes Professor Jamie Goggins, University of Galway.
