The Structural Engineer, Volume 26, Issue 6, 1948
The possibility of multi-storey buildings being constructed in the near future with light pre-fabricated internal partitions makes it important to ensure that wind stresses are correctly calculated. The American practice of assuming the points of contraflexure in the stanchions to be mid-way between the floors can involve serious errors and the continental practice of using three member equations is a little too laborious in the case of high buildings. Professor A.L.L. Baker
A typescript copy of this paper (3,000 words with two tables and four figures) is available in the Library of the Institution. The paper is revolutionary in its views of the fundamentals of the strength of steel. A.C. Vivian
