Abstract
Drawing on some 40 years experience with many aspects of structural code preparation and use, views are expressed on their purpose, production and presentation. Their role as part of the portfolio of advice and guidance employed by structural engineers is discussed and suggestions made to assist in securing the community's acceptance of updated documents. While the content has been heavily influenced by the author's direct experience—both in terms of the fields of expertise and the geographical regions in which that expertise has been gained—it is believed that many of the points made have a general value across all materials and structural types and in all areas of the world.
