The Structural Engineer, Volume 70, Issue 11, 1992
The first rule of successful debt collection must always be that ‘prevention is better than cure’. A few simple, and relatively cheap, measures applied in good time can frequently save much grief later but, even when disaster does strike and a debt appears to be ‘bad’, some welldirected persistence can literally pay dividends. D.J. Cude
Sometimes an increase beyond the normal design loadcarrying capacity of a composite floor slab is highly desirable. This paper describes tests that show the existence of such an increase and how it may be predicted. C.K. Jolly and R.M. Lawson
This paper gives the background investigation made into the provision of new access systems for two major steel bridges constructed in the early 1950s. The selection process led to a design, construct and erect contract completed in 1989. The paper highlights the problems of providing such a system at this later stage, rather than as part of the original design and maintenance concepts, and sets out the various methods of access possible before discussing the process used to arrive at a final solution.
