The Structural Engineer, Volume 53, Issue 7, 1975
Mr. K. M. Brook: It is a pleasure to read a paper in which the authors have presented their results and observations so very clearly. This clarity should not, however, cause us to overlook the considerable amount of painstaking effort involved in their work.
Our thanks to Mr. A. H. Jenkins (F) who has enlightened us about Paxton's source of inspiration (May 75) : : The water lily was at Chatsworth, not Kew. George F. Chadwick in Works of Sir Joseph Paxton gives the reference as Royal Society of Arts, Transactions, Vol. LVII, 1850-51. The idea had been developed before in connection with the Chatsworth Lily House detailing. Verulam
A braced core may be defined as a particular form of bracing a steel skeleton in which the members, designed specifically for carrying the forces and moments due to lateral loads, are confined to within the core area of the building. A study is made in this paper of the behaviour of such a braced core subjected to torsional loads. B.S. Taranath
