The Structural Engineer, Volume 47, Issue 11, 1969
Details of the Institution’s Structural Engineering Technician Certifcate Scheme have now been published and advised to all colleges in the United Kingdom that offer courses of preparation for the specified academic qualifications. All chartered structural engineers and others responsible for the training of design office personnel should familiarise themselves with the scheme in order that they may advise and guide those whose qualifications and responsibilities can lead to the award of the Institution’s Structural Engineering Technician Certificate.
Improved compaction, improved adhesion of cement matrix to aggregate particles and application of triaxial stress are seen as the main methods of improving concrete compressive strength. A.J. Harris
The paper presents a new approach to the analysis of bridge decks having a cellular transverse cross-section. It uses a modified finite element technique and solutions are obtained by fully-automatic computer program. Only the major stress-carrying modes are represented and a considerable saving in the number of simultaneous equations to be solved is achieved. The degree of accuracy obtained is assessed by comparisons with empirical values and the programs are used to investigate the effect of distortional stiffness on stresses. Professor F. Sawko and R.J.
