The Structural Engineer, Volume 58, Issue 2, 1980
Professor A. Bolton (F) (Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh): The Code Servicing Panel has done a great deal of painstaking work on our behalf, and its members deserve our commendation. It seems to me, however, that they have been constrained to give us a formal shadow of what is really needed.
The intensity of snow loading and the provisions of CP3: Chapter V have generated a deal of interesting correspondence over the past year. Verulam
Our subject of theory of structures had its origins around the beginning of the 19th century, and centred first upon the tension and compression properties of the structural materials then current, and upon the behaviour of beams. By 1807 Young had published his work on the theory of beams and struts, and by 1822 George Rennie and Tredgold had reported the results of their tests on materials. Thus the engineering science now known as ‘strength of materials’ had emerged. Sir Alfred Pugsley
