The Structural Engineer, Volume 70, Issue 7, 1992
The paper describes the subsoils of Northern Ireland, the majority of which are of glacial origin. The formation of these glacial materials is outlined and geotechnical properties of typical subsoils are given. The significance of a knowledge of glacial geology to the practice of foundation engineering in Northern Ireland is stressed. Professor I.G. Doran
It was a great surprise when, in December 1988, I was invited by Dr John Dougill, Director of Engineering, to join the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) as one of the five representatives of the Institution of Structural Engineers. M.L. Manson
