Watermeyer, R B
The Structural Engineer, Volume 74, Issue 19, 1996
In the previous issue sponsored by the South African Division, in 1990, Trevor Geach (an ex Vice-president) commented on the changes which had occurred in South Africa since the creation of the Division by a group of enthusiastic members in 1937. At that time, and up to the end of World War 2, it was accepted that the sign of a competent structural engineer was membership of the Institution of Structural Engineers. A.E. Goldstein
Ron Watermeyer, the incoming chairman of the Joint Structural Division of the Institution of Structural Engineers and the South African Institution of Civil Engineers, graduated in civil engineering from the University of the Wit-watersrand in 1978.
The findings of an investigation into the lateral-torsional buckling strength of hot-rolled stainless steel beams are reported. The stainless steel beams under consideration were hot-rolled from a modified AISI type 409 stainless steel designated 3CR12, a corrosion-resisting steel. P.J. Bredenkamp, H. Barnard, G.J. Van den Berg and P. Van der Merwe
