Hello everyone,

 

 

We wanted to remind you about our collection of educational websites from which you can learn more about specific subjects of structural engineering. We have also added new papers in our online library!  

  

Also, for those of you that live in or will be traveling to The Netherlands, TNO Diana offers a collection of informative courses (http://tnodiana.com). 

 

If your organization would like to reach out to thousands of structural engineers per month, contact us to learn more about our Sponsorship Packages! 

 

 

Have a Wonderful Summer,
