The Structural Engineer, Volume 44, Issue 11, 1966
Dr. Rowe said that the second presentation of the paper might be considered analogous to the second reading of a Parliamentary Bill, with the Code of Practice Committee possibly representing the Upper House! However, should the analogy be taken too far, Dr. Rowe added that he and his colleagues regarded it as an indication of the very considerable argument and controversy, which was going on throughout structural engineering, concerning the new philosophies of design which were being considered and the new concepts which were being propounded.
The author considers the requirements for workmanship in the construction of structural concrete. The concrete mix, batching and placing, the design, construction and striking of formwork are all covered, together with the requirements of curing and cold-weather concreting. The author proposes a svstem of tolerances for construction and gives special consideration to surface finishes for architectural effects. T.N.W. Akroyd
This paper describes a method of analysing a structure consisting of a number of piles embedded at their toes and connected to a rigid mass (such as a bridge pier) at their heads. The piles are treated as straight elastic members having any desired inclination in three dimensions. D.G. Alcock
