The Structural Engineer, Volume 45, Issue 1, 1967
The Joint Building Group was formed in 1963 and exists to improve efficiency within the building and construction industry by promoting interprofessional discussion on common problems.
Mr. Peter Dunican, introducing his paper, said that the title ‘ The art of structural engineering ’ had been chosen quite deliberately because, although it was a matter which he might not be able to pronounce upon too clearly, it was a subject which as a practising structural engineer he ought to know something about.
In the past few years the first Ordinary Meeting of the New Year has been given over to a discussion or debate on a theme of topical interest to structural engineers. Against the background of the much-publicized structural collapses of 1966 the meeting on Thursday 12 January at 6 o’clock to debate the motion ‘ That structural design is best carried out in professional offices ’ will provide an opportunity for airing members’ views on these events.
