A method is presented for the analysis of rigid space frames using iterative techniques. In no case are matrices larger than 3 x 3 used, so that the procedure may be carried out by manual methods or may, if desired, be programmed for computation using an electronic computer. The method is illustrated by two examples, one without sway and one involving sway of the frame.

Shutter Ties in Unlined Concrete Water-retaining Structures. Discussion on the paper by P. Jackson

Mr. C. B. Stone (Vice-president) said it was a common failing of consultants not to admit that their Structures leaked; however, he himself did not know of any case of leakage due to shutter ties. Mr. Jackson had shown there was a weakness but Mr. Stone thought that, if there had been a low water/cement ratio and thorough compaction by vibration, the cavity would not have formed.

<h4>Correspondence. ‘ Degrees of freedom ofplane and space frames ’ by K. S. Rangasami and S</h4>

Correspondence. ‘ Degrees of freedom ofplane and space frames ’ by K. S. Rangasami and S

Mr. D. G. ,Alcock (Associate-Member) writes:- ‘The authors claim to present a unified approach for the determination of the degrees of freedom or indeterminacy of plane and space frames. In fact the claim is rather ambitious as it can only yield the degree of indeterminacy of a structure which is already known to be stable.'
