The Institution of Structural Engineer’s Chartered Membership Examination is highly regarded both nationally and internationally and requires the candidate to rapidly justify their initial design concepts. This handbook is written specifically for those who are preparing to sit the examination, but it should also prove useful to all those involved in preparing outline and
scheme stage designs on a day-to-day basis.
How to use this handbook
This handbook is laid out to reflect the examination questions; to date these have followed the same format. Section 1 of the examination is the design appraisal and this is covered in Section 2, which provides essential information required to assist in answering this part of the examination. Section 2 of the examination is divided into three parts; firstly (section 2c) there is the requirement to prepare sufficient calculations to establish the size and form of all the principal structural elements. Guidance is given in Section 3 of this handbook. Section 2d requires the candidate to prepare plans, sections and elevations, including critical details, for estimating purposes; examples are given in Section 4. Finally section 2e requires detailed method statements and often an outline programmer to be prepared and this is covered in Section 5. Readers should appreciate that this publication is written for the structural engineer practicing in the UK. Whilst many of the principles can be applied to structures around the world, it must be clearly understood that environmental and geographical factors encountered may be significantly different. It is also written with the design of building structures in mind rather than bridges or offshore structures. The requirements for question 8, structural dynamics, are not specifically covered.
