The Structural Engineer, Volume 55, Issue 5, 1977
The term 'stress-ribbon' describes a structure type in which the deck hangs in catenary form. The behaviour and design of an all-steel structure of this type is discussed using a 490m span highway bridge as an example. R.J. Wheen and A.J. Wilson
President's Diary The President and Mrs. Eastwood Will receive some 700 members and their guests at the Institution's Annual Dinner at Grosvenor House, London on Thursday, 5 May, among them Sir Charles Villiers, MC, Chairman, British Steel Corporation and Sir Roy Marshall, CBE, Secretary-General of the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals, with their ladies. Sir Charles will be proposing a toast to the Institution, to which the President is to reply; Sir Roy will respond to the toast to 'The Guests' proposed by Mr. Peter Dunican, CBE (President-Elect).
Errata The paragraph covering 'cost' on page 382 of the original paper has suffered a couple of printing errors and you may well wonder at such exotic items as 'tar piles' and the finishes to 'structural desks' (lovingly carved with WL/8 no doubt). These should read 'test piles' and 'structural decks' of course!
