The Structural Engineer, Volume 71, Issue 5, 1993
The introduction of self-certification in Scotland should be welcomed by structural engineers, but initial reaction varies from satisfaction to hostility - the latter, I believe, based on fear of added responsibility without adequate recompense. T.J. Bell
The Rules of Conduct were approved by the Council of the Institution on 29 June 1972, in accordance with the terms of the Charter and of Bye-Law 85.
This paper presents approximate formulae that may be used to determine the effective length of steel columns designed to BS 5950. These formulae give the designer an alternative to the graphical method given in Appendix E of the Code. The approximate formulae are normally accurate to better than the second decimal place. This approach follows the development of simple computer routines for incorporation into column and frame design programs. A.G. Smyrell
