The Structural Engineer, Volume 55, Issue 3, 1977
BS 5337 contains clauses which permit the use of limit state design methods for water-retaining structures. There are advantages in using the new method of design and the paper discusses the application of the relevant clauses, and compares typical designs. R.D. Anchor
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.
All members when applying for admission to the Institution sign a declaration that they will be bound by the provisions of the Charter and Bye-Laws and by the Rules of Conduct. For the majority, the latter simply strengthen the duty that they in any case owe to themselves as professional engineers. For some members in their day to day work, however, the Rules call for the observance of long-standing conventions, ignorance or disregard of which places the professional reputation of a member at risk as well as reflecting adversely upon the Institution itself.
