The Structural Engineer, Volume 61, Issue 10, 1983
Verulam today This 75th Anniversary issue of The Structural Engineer provides us with an excuse for considering briefly the purpose of the Verulam column and what we are aiming to achieve. Verulam
One of the primary reasons for the existence of our Institution is to serve the structural engineering interests of our society in the best possible way. We certainly have other objectives, and I know that these objectives have been expressed on a number of occasions and in a number of different ways. I think that they are best embodied in our definition of structural engineering, as ‘the science and art of designing and making, with economy and elegance, buildings, bridges, frameworks, and other similar structures so that they can safely resist the forces to which they may be subjected’. Peter Dunican
An anniversary is a time to stand and take stock, as well as a time to celebrate. In the field of law and its impacts on structural engineering, there are a number of matters that are of interest, if not concern, to members of the Institution. Thomas Akroyd
