What is the HERA STEEL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION BULLETIN?

The HERA STEEL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION BULLETIN is a bi-monthly technical publication, providing important information of medium-term to long-term interest to structural designers/specifiers.

It is prepared by Charles Clifton, HERA Structural Engineer, with contributions from key industry people. It covers all aspects relating to steel of relevance to structural engineers, from research through design, codes and standards to fabrication and erection.
