The security and permanence of his foundations control the life of the structure, and in no form of engineering is this truer than in the building of a highway. H.E. Brooke-Bradley
THE experimental and theoretical investigations on bolted and riveted connections carried out in the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Birmingham for the Steel Structures Research Committee are fully described in the Reports of that Committee.(l) The main purpose of the present paper is to describe certain investigations on connections encased in concrete which have been made since these Reports were published. Before doing this, however, it is desirable to review briefly some of the conclusions previously reached. Professor C. Batho
Mr. GOWER B. R. PIMM, M.Inst.C.E., M.I.Struct.E., proposing a vote of thanks to Mr. Hiley for the paper, said that the pleasure of so doing was all the greater because he was privileged to be associated with Mr. Hiley on the Institution's Panel dealing with piling. The Hiley piling formula was well known, and the profession owed a debt of gratitude to Mr. Hiley for his work in connection with piling.
