The Structural Engineer, Volume 51, Issue 9, 1973
Just as the structure of the Sydney Opera House is unique in its shape and overall complexity, so are the glass walls which enclose the building. Many of the problems encountered in the design and construction of the walls were entirely without precedent, and had therefore to be solved from first principles. D.D. Croft and J.A. Hooper
When Mr. L. R. Creasy, CB, OBE, BSc(Eng). CEng, FIStructE, FICE, delivers his Presidential Address at an Ordinary Meeting to be held at 11 Upper Belgrave Street, London on Thursday 4 October at 6.0 pm, the institution for the first time for over 20 years will have a President who holds a distinguished appointment in the public service.
Routine checking The task of checking the work of another structural engineer is becoming an increasingly frequent one for members of the Institution. It is a trend to be welcomed but the professional responsibility of an engineer in such checking cannot be over-emphasized.
