Discussion on BS5337: Design and Construction of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures for

The subject of this paper is of great current interest to bridge engineers and I should like to add a few comments. L.A. Clark

The problems of interaction between manmade structures and the ground which nature provides to support them are always with us; we were glad that the Institution's Symposium in May to launch its excellent state-of-the-art report was so well attended. Discussion was lively and interesting; Sam Thorburn and his committee are to be commended for producing a stimulating and useful study. Verulam
