The Structural Engineer, Volume 70, Issue 20, 1992
Among the letters I received congratulating me on being awarded the IStructE’s Gold Medal was one from Duncan Michael. Musing on what it signified, he commented that the award did not mark the end of a career but rather a stage within it. He supposed it was a type of school report, providing a point to review where you have got - with the added responsibility of keeping your medal clean and bright. Professor E. Happold
I am deeply honoured by the award of the Institution's Gold Medal which surely has something to do with my involvement in the development of the finite element method. Professor O.C. Zienkiewicz
Dr J. B. Bellamy (F) (Marlow & Co. Ltd) The authors are ta be congratulated on a most interesting paper which shows that today, despite advances in technology, we are less willing to build large roofs in timber than our predecessors. Large numbers of Belfast truss roofs were built and appear to have given satisfactory service for many years; surely this provides us with a database of experience that could be used to assess the stress levels permitted in current Codes and the limit state factors proposed in EC5?
