The reasons for the cancellation remain speculative. It could be due to resource constraints, shifting priorities within the organizing bodies, or a strategic decision to integrate the intended topics into other resources. Regardless of the cause, engineers seeking guidance on Foundations, Serviceability, Fire design, and Retaining walls must look to other, more authoritative sources.
