The Structural Engineer, Volume 76, Issue 2, 1998
Mr D. K. Doran (F) It has been my privilege for the past 7 years to chair the two Institution task groups working on this topic. One of the benefits of being Chairman is that one does not have to do too much work. What cannot be delegated, of course, is responsibility, and I accept that.

Mr. D.K. Doran
