The paper describes the subsoils of Northern Ireland, the majority of which are of glacial origin. The formation of these glacial materials is outlined and geotechnical properties of typical subsoils are given. The significance of a knowledge of glacial geology to the practice of foundation engineering in Northern Ireland is stressed.

Professor I.G. Doran

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Engineer

What follows is an abbreviation or distillation of my Chairman’s Address delivered to the Northern Ireland Branch on 30 November 1990 in the presence of the then President, David Lazenby. Its purpose was to share a concern (and perhaps an oversimplistic solution) in an attempt to stimulate or provoke some thoughts for the future. It is with some apprehension, and after not a little procrastination, that I eventually agreed to my address being published as a viewpoint. W.H. Walker

<h4>The Belfast Roof Trusses</h4>

The Belfast Roof Trusses

The barrel roof supported on Belfast trusses was widely used for industrial buildings in the late 19th and early 20th centuries because of its efficiency and economy for covering large clear-spans. The different forms of timber trusses used in the so-called ‘Belfast’ roofs are described and their historical origins discussed. M.H. Gould, Professor A. Jennings and R. Montgomery
