The Structural Engineer, Volume 78, Issue 19, 2000
Column or Beam Jack Kavanagh has written from Co. Kildare in Ireland: I write to try to clarify a difference in interpretation among some colleagues regarding design of cantilever columns. A lot of industrial warehousing here is constructed in precast concrete frames using fixed-base cantilever columns. BS 8110, section 3.8.4.1, states that columns design assumptions are as for beams (section 3.4.4.1).
The design and construction of Westminster Station on the London Underground Jubilee Line project was both technically demanding and a complex undertaking. This paper is concerned with the design but not the construction. It sets out to describe the many and varied constraints imposed by the selected site,adjacent buildings and structures designed and built by others over the station whilst it was under construction.

Lime mortar was used extensively between the 15th and 18th centuries for bonding and surface dressing of masonry. Its supremacy as a building material continued until the late 19th century, when it was superseded by the arrival of Portland cement - and the availability of faster setting cement mortars and renders.
