The Structural Engineer, Volume 75, Issue 20, 1997
Mr President, my Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a very great honour to be here this evening on such a special occasion for the Institution and to have a chance to share with you some thoughts and ideas about what might be in store for you as structural engineers within and without the Institution, and the degree to which those concerns for the environment now impinge on all our lives. Jonathan Porritt
Contribution to Verulam Contributions on some BS Codes of Practice have been numerous and, in some cases, extremely long, so much so that the discussions on BS 8002 Earth-retaining structures have been consigned to a separate correspondence section - a new procedure within The Structural Engineer. Verulam would like to repeat an earlier request reminding members that brief communications are particularly welcomed and that length is not necessarily concomitant with quality. Authors may suffer distress when a pearl of wisdom or eloquence in their contribution is discarded, but perhaps the pain can be borne when they consider the pleasure which brevity gives to Verulam.
Dr A. J. M. Soane (F) (Bingham Cotterell) I have two questions on this very interesting project. First, how did you get on with DIN? Secondly, how did you get on with the Prufingenieur or - perhaps more importantly - how did the Prufingenieur get on with you?
