The Structural Engineer, Volume 9, Issue 4, 1931
STRUCTURAL engineering is a term or title often incorrectly interpreted. There was a tendency at one time to use it in particular reference to static structures in steel and reinforced concrete, because, with the growth of these forms of construction, specialisation of production and of professional services in connection therewith, became distinctive, particularly in relation to building. F.E. Drury
Mr. H. W. BRINKWORTH, referring to Fig. 1, drew attention to the statement (in the top right-hand corner) that the curve for Fidler’s formula (a) was worked to a stress of 20 tons per sq. in., and thc curve for Fidler’s formula (b) to 25 tons per sq. in. He asked if those figures should be reversed, because he could not quite understand why the curve was lower at the bigger ultimate stress.
A discussion on the above subject will take place at a special meeting, open to all interested members, to be held at No. 10, Upper Belgrave Street, S.W.1, on Thursday, May 7th, 1931, at 6.30 p.m. prompt.
