The Structural Engineer, Volume 66, Issue 6, 1988
To have been asked to write a personal tribute to Sir Ove Arup is a task I have accepted with sadness, because it is required, but with pride because it provides me with an opportunity to remember with affection the effect that knowing him has had on me. What follows is therefore a very personal retrospective of a man I greatly admired and respected. Peter Campbell
In the present work, a new type of retaining wall is proposed, in which the wall is tied to the base by two parallel inclined ties. To study the structural behaviour of the tied-back retaining wall, the finite element method is used. A computer program is written in FORTRAN IV for the solution of the problem. Professor F.A.N. Alshawi, A.I. Mohammed and B.J. Farid
Mr A.N. Beal (M) (R.H. Thomason & Partners): This paper is interesting, but it seems that work is still at an early stage and any notions of likely conclusions are a little premature.
