The Structural Engineer, Volume 48, Issue 1, 1970
As is customary at the first Ordinary Meeting of the New Year, the meeting of the Institution at 6 o’clock on Thursday 8 January 1970 will take the form of an open discussion. This year’s theme is the economic consequences of substantial claims-a subject of importance to all engineers and indeed to all in the construction industry. All members are invited to bring to the meeting, colleagues from the contracting industry from whom contributions to the discussion will be most welcome.
The paper describes the main features of the design and construction of three 74-storey blocks of flats for the Royal Burgh of Ayr in the Bison Wall Frame System, an industrialised load-bearing wall system using large floor and wall panels of precast concrete. D.H. Orme and S. Thorburn
Some cases where incorrect design of beams supporting two-way slabs may result from the use of only the triangular and trapezoidal load distributions which follow the shape of the segments of the panel collapse mechanisms are described and discussed. R. Park
