The Structural Engineer, Volume 36, Issue 6, 1958
Mr. J. J. LEEMING (Member): Dr. Lightfoot’s paper deals with structures of constant section, and is to that extent misleading, because it is therefore one of those methods which tend to lead designers to fit their structures to their method of design.
A PREVIOUS paper, "The Failure Load of Rigid A Jointed Frameworks as Influenced by Stability," published in this Journal in July 1954 introduced the idea that elastic critical loads are one of the important parameters governing the behaviour of frameworks. As one side of a research project on the combined effects of plasticity and stability on frameworks, attention was therefore directed to the problem of calculating critical loads. This paper concludes a series of papers on the critical loads of Tall Building Frames. R. E. Bowles and W. Merchant
Mr. G. SVED: I should like to congratulate Dr. Bray on his clear and comprehensive paper on the application of "An Electrical Analyser for Rigid Frameworks."
