The Structural Engineer, Volume 45, Issue 9, 1967
The Chairman: ' We are indebted to Mr. Williams and Mr. Rutter for their practical and informative paper. The authors have taken account of forces which only ten or 20 years ago would have been discussed only in a university laboratory. They have had concern with deflection which until quite recently was quite unthinkable. I think this is a sign of things to come, both in concrete and in steel. We are going to have to know things very much more, we are going to have to know very much more about the behaviour under working conditions as soon as we go over to what is known as the limit state method of design. '
Mr. F. C. Mellor: ' The paper emphasizes the importance of the team-work between consultant and contractor. We at St. Albans Concrete were very grateful for the opportunities that we were given for very frank discussion at all stages, which enables a well-balanced design to be prepared and which took very full account of the manufacturing aspects. '
The self-weight of a cantilever tower that is deflected from its stable vertical position, will, in contributing to the loading on the structure, magnify the deflections and bending moments throughout the structure. F.A. Gaydon and W.J. Lanarch
