The Structural Engineer, Volume 60, Issue 4, 1982
A new way of thinking about the teaching of structural analysis and design, a new paradigm, is proposed. This is based on the 1O-year study of the development of an understanding of structural behaviour in groups of recently-qualified graduates. D.M. Brohn
After the manuscript had been submitted to the Institution, comment came back that nothing had been included about the actual design of individual silo bins; arising from this, Appendix B was added. Notwithstanding, we feel it desirable to elaborate further.
Mr M. H. Rees (M): The authors have given us a pithy paper, outstanding as much, perhaps, for its readability and abstraction of the really interesting features of the project as for the signficance of those features which, for me, includes the following: -design rationale for shearhead -shearhead proof testing -flat-plate mat prefabrication -flat-plate omission of edge beams -rationale for services corridors Having just completed the design of a flat-slab structure in East Africa, presently implementing, I would draw your attention to certain similarities with, and differences from, Bangor Hospital, so as to illustrate the underlying concepts or conceptual divergences.
