The Structural Engineer, Volume 54, Issue 2, 1976
Mr. T. N. W. Akroyd (F) gave us an authoritative statement on the duties of a local authority under the Building Regulations (November 1975) which stimulated us to probe yet further the issue of checking calculations. He has taken this point and dealt with it as succinctly as ever: My note (November 1975) was intended to express in simple words the answer to the question: 'Has a local authority a legal obligation in the execution of its duty under the Building Regulations to check calculations made by a qualified person?' Since you appear clearly and unmistakably to exhibit signs of someone who has not understood my previous letter let me please try to help further. Verulam
This paper is concerned with the way in which vertical load is distributed in shear wall buildings. It deals in the main with tall buildings (height to width greater than l.5:1), but some of the conclusions reached may have applicability to other types of wall construction. I.A. MacLeod and H. Hosny
This paper covers the principles of claims, the role of insurers and of insurance brokers, the responsibilities of adjusters and the duties of the parties: it also shows how, from the point of view of the insurer, greater efficiency can be achieved in the construction process by proper attention to the duties of the client and his professional advisers on the one hand and the contractor on the other. G.W. White and E.W. Hitcham
