I shall speak to you today from my own experience and my own conviction. Lest you should think this unduly selfcentred I must say in self-defence that my own working life has, to my own great good fortune, coincided first with the end of colonialism and then with the first steps in a new internationalism. I almost said one foot in the old world and one in the new.

The Rt. Hon. Lord Caradon

<h4>Verulam</h4>

Verulam

We have a request from Mr. K. T. John (M) written from Nairobi : I am currently engaged in the design of several large reservoirs for water schemes in various parts of Africa. Economy and ease of construction is extremely important as many of the sites are in remote areas and the labour is relatively unskilled. Verulam

<h4>Teaching Towards an Improved Understanding of Structural Behaviour</h4>

Teaching Towards an Improved Understanding of Structural Behaviour

An investigation of the ability of civil engineering students to understand the basic behaviour of structures is described. The study is based on two tests, each consisting of a number of two-dimensional structures. The candidate is required to draw the approximate bending moment diagrams. The results of tests on a number of student groups are presented and discussed. Based on these results, the authors conclude that the ability of the average student is less than should be expected.

<h4>Engineering Aspects of the National Theatre</h4>

Engineering Aspects of the National Theatre

In this paper, to which the architects have kindly contributed descriptive matter, the authors describe the philosophy and the process by which the engineering works were evolved to accord with the architecture. The emphasis throughout is on integration of engineering aspects within a framework of performance requirements. The organisation of the design and related contractual aspects are touched upon. Detailed design and detailing of much of the reinforced concrete was by computer. The adequacy of bond between galvanised reinforcement and concrete containing white cement was established by tests. Structural movement is considered in relation to the detailed design of the building fabric and to noise and perceived vibration. Anti-flotation measures, both temporary andpermanent, are described. There are references to the air-conditioning systems, related problems of climatic control, and model tests which enabled satisfactory air distribution patterns to be achieved in the auditoria. A.R. Flint and J.A. Neill
