The Structural Engineer, Volume 94, Issue 5, 2016, Page(s) 1
This month's letters discuss media coverage of structural engineering, the thorny issue of "reasonably practicable", the role of the principal designer, the need for greater recognition of temporary works, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.
Richard Garry responds to Paul Bell’s article on the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, published in the February 2016 issue, and offers some further clarification of the Act.
This month we bring you another question from the Institution’s Structural Behaviour Course. The topic is bending moment diagrams. Answers will be published in the June issue. (NB This article was updated on 3 May 2016 to correct the diagrams for May's question and possible answers.)
