The Structural Engineer, Volume 20, Issue 5, 1942
I am glad to take this opportuinty of voicing some opinions on engineering education, and to do so under conditions where, like a preacher in the pulpit, the most provocative heresis can be pronounced without fear of interruption.
This seems to confirm the authors’ views that the failure of concrete in torsion is essentially due to its failure in tension and therefore any reinforcement which tends to strengthen these tensile planes such as stirrups or spirals, would be the only effective reinforcement in developing torsional rigidity of the concrete section.
A MEETING of the Institution of Structural Engineers was held at 11, Upper Belrave Street, London, S.W.l, on Thursday, November 20th, 1941, at 2.30 pm., for the resumption of the discussion of the paper by Mr. S. Bylander, M.I.Struct.E., and Mr. H. Boddington, M.A. (Oxon.), A.R.T.B.A, on “City of London Reconstruction: Collaboration between Engineer and Architect.”
