Early thermal and shrinkage cracking of reinforced concrete walls is a frequent cause for concern on construction sites, especially for water retaining structures. The revised edition of CP2007 (BS5337) includes specific limit state design recommendations to control the cracking in water containing structures by means of the distribution reinforcement. The paper therefore considers a service reservoir for the South Staffordshire Waterworks Company which was designed to the new recommendations, and which provided the opportunity of comparing theory with practice not only for this design but also with a typical design to the former Code, CP2007:1960, on which the amended design was based. Other equally satisfactory design solutions which would
have been possible in accordance with the new recommendations are also indicated.

It seems possible that BS449 is beginning to displace CP110 as a subject for comment to this column. Our old friend Mr. Hairsine writes : I should like to draw members' attention to a recent amendment to BS449 (Amendment No. 5: AMD 1787) which quietly introduces changes affecting the design of bolted connections and web buckling calculations.

The Use of Continuous Precast Beam Decks for the M11 Woodford Interchange Viaducts

The paper describes how various factors peculiar to the site together with a desire to impose maximum design and construction standardization led to the use of precast MOT/C&CA prestressed concrete M beams for the decks of a large multi-viaduct interchange at the London end of the M11 motorway.

<h4>Overall Stability of Structures</h4>

Overall Stability of Structures

A definition of structuralstability is given in terms of the sensitivity of structures to variations of the design parameters. The problem of overall stability is then considered, as distinct from localmember stability, and two main modes of overall instability are identified, namely lateral and torsionalinstability. Each of these modes of overall instability are then examined in terms of some of the main factors involved, particularly the variability of live loads, stiffness and geometry, and the influence of geometrical changes during live loading and differential settlements. Statistical methods have been used where appropriate. David J. Dowrick
