In this paper a general analytical method is outlined for calculating the collapse loads of plane curved girders of any shape. The method applies to any type of loading and to girders curved in three dimensions. Examples are given of circular girders and right-angled bents. For the former, Tables of collapse loads are obtained by means of an electronic computer. E. 0. IMEGWU
Mr. S. B. Tietz (Associate-Member) referred to some tests carried out on polyester resins, not unfortunately under conditions as well controlled as in Mr. Johnson's tests, nor numerous enough in some cases to draw any final conclusions. On the other hand he considered that they were indicative.
Dr. M. Soare of Bucharest writes:- ‘Mr. Banerjee states that “ ‘three’ numbers of boundary conditions are imperative for the solution of conoids ” and that “ Soare’s method assuming ‘two’ conditions instead does not offer a complete solution.”
