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.
THE younger members of the Institution will be particularly interested in the details of the Dorman Long Travelling Scholarship which is open for competition this year. A new departure has been made by limiting the age of candidates to thirty. We hope therefore to receive a record entry from associate members, graduates, and students of the Institution. The Scholarship is a valuable one - £300, and the opportunity to travel-and besides this, the subject set this year is such a novel and interesting one that candidates will find the work of preparing for it well worth while from the point of view of professional training.
