The Structural Engineer, Volume 67, Issue 7, 1989
Our perception of ourselves is, I believe, of vital importance to the status of the structural engineer, and should encompass our potential for greater influence and recognition within society. The need to challenge this perception of ourselves and our Institution is a stepping stone on which we must tread, to face some of the issues that lie before us as a profession. A.H. Stevens
This paper describes the development of a lightweight composite flooring system suitable for use in domestic, lightly loaded office buildings and mezzanine floors. The use of this system may be in new build or renovation work, although it was originally conceived as a replacement to existing timber joist floors. H.D. Wright, H.R. Evans and C.A. Burt
A new 5Om-long bridge of two spans carries a single railway and roadway across rail sidings in a reclaimed industrial area. Track and road are carried on an integral deck with running rail set flush with the roadway pavement. Composite steel and precast unit construction was used to achieve rapid implementation. Design and construction processes are described. N.L. Sadler and S.J. Matthews
