The Structural Engineer, Volume 70, Issue 4, 1992
The London Ark stands on a triangular site defined by the A4 Hammersmith flyover and the adjacent underground cutting that carries the Piccadilly and District lines. In such a harsh environment the building was designed to take a defensive stance, forming an internal ‘oasis’ in the shape of a full-height atrium. R.H. Jackson and B. Leidner
This feature is a summary of ideas about preparation for the Part 3 examination. The examination is noted for its difficulty and high failure-rate. Having failed in 1989, I thought it through and passed in 1990. This is written in the hope that it will prove useful to those preparing for it. K.G. Armstrong
This paper presents a method for obtaining measurements of non-linear characteristics in the damping of real structures. The use of the random decrement technique is presented and its application to some full-scale structures detailed. The mathematical background to the technique is detailed and the practical avoidance of problems with its use noted. Professor A.P. Jeary
