The Structural Engineer, Volume 58, Issue 1, 1980
The Watt Committee on Energy is seeking to extend its activities through increased education of both the professional and the layman; its chairman, Mr. J. H. Chesters, has asked for our support in furthering this campaign which is described in a statement that runs: Professional institutions have always had as their main objective the maintenance of high standards within their own particular field. It is now suggested that they should consider how energy conservation can be further extended through their own field of training. Verulam
The paper describes the design and construction of the new bridge over the Thames at Runnymede next to the bridge designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Several different types of structure were investigated, and models were used to study the visual relationships with the older bridge. The new bridge consists of four frames of white concrete which were constructed in halves on the banks, slid into position, and joined together. W.J.R. Smyth, R. Benaim and D. H. Philpott
The paper outlines the changes in arbitralprocedure brought about by the Arbitration Act 1979. These alter the appellate procedure, strengthen the arbitrator’s powers at the interlocutory stage of a reference, and introduce the facility of excluding judicial review in certain circumstances. The consequences for the structural engineer as litigant, expert witness, or arbitrator are discussed. Kenneth Severn
