The why and how of material efficiency. 

The evolution in construction technology throughout the last years is marked by a few breakthrough technologies which make construction safer, more efficient, and more sustainable than ever. 

Scientific insights evolve over time and the topic of the design resistance of class 3 steel cross-sections is no exception to that. Time for an update in the second generation of Eurocodes!

CLT boards are nothing new, they have been produced since 1995 but have not been included in standards until now. Their use in the construction industry was regulated by technical guidelines at European level (ETA: European Technical Assessment).

We are happy to announce the winners of the SCIA Student Contest 2022.

Parametric design is becoming more relevant. Especially as the construction industry is only now becoming more open to the wide use of technology.

On the way to achieving the ambitious climate targets, it will be important for the construction industry to exploit the enormous potential of digitalisation.

The global pandemic has been disruptive in many ways, one of them being the undeniable impact on companies and their pace of business. 

We are shocked and saddened about the human impact of the current situation in and around the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Celebrating World Engineering Day 2022 can be done by honouring the engineers in your life.

Although the intentions of uniformity are there, we can agree that Europe is still much of a patchwork of different regulations and systems.
