The Structural Engineer, Volume 51, Issue 9, 1973
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.
In this paper is summarized the development of a rational method for the plastic design of biaxially loaded steel columns which is sufficiently compact for inclusion in structural codes of practice. The study takes account of previous work on flexural and flexural-torsional buckling of columns and fills in some of the gaps where knowledge is lacking. The effects of local buckling are not considered. B.W. Young
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.
