The TAC Report for the period 2017-18 is available on the public portion of this website by clicking here to access the page containing all recent reports.

The functionality of the Publications Gateway has been extended by adding a new tab: Bookshop.
This feature is available to both members and non-members of the IASS. It allows shopping with online payment.

At the moment there is one item available: The IASS 50th Jubilee Book "Fifty Years of Progress for Shell and Spatial Structures". This is now the only form of distribution of this book. Previously practiced ordering through the order form is discontinued.

The Bookshop is accesible through the Publications Gateway of this website.

This issue contains five technical papers, one project description, a memorial to David Billington, and information about upcoming events, including the IASS Symposium 2019.  Access to a PDF of the full issue is through the Publications Gateway of this website. Soon, the issue will also be available on the Ingenta website in the usual form.

A new feature has been added to Member Tools.

Members can access, print, and share their cards certifying membership in the Association 24/7 from their member profile.

For that, go to Member Tools and then select My Profile -> View profile

Membership cards are updated automatically when members renew and when member details change.

Please enjoy !
