The Structural Engineer, Volume 48, Issue 6, 1970
The formulation of an epoxy mortar is related to existing knowledge of the design of resin mortar mixes. The results are given of several series of tests on this mortar and on joints made with it. These show that it is suitable for use in structural joints in precast concrete that transmit combined shear and compression, and that its flexibility and creep are little greater than those of concrete, and an order of magnitude less than those of the epoxy resins previously tested. R. Paul Johnson
The response to the invitation to members offered in The Structural Engineer in 1969 has been sufficiently encouraging for the Council to approve a pilot scheme of Special Study Groups.
These reports upon the performance of candidates in the Institution Parts 2 and 3 examinations held in January 1970 are based upon the comments of examiners. The review is offered as a guide to those who are preparing for future examinations and to those members and others responsible for the teaching or training of potential candidates.
