R.I. CLAYTON, MSc, PhD* This Paper reviews the routine design of free embedded cantilever walls in granular material using limit equilibrium methods. A large number of methods described in the literature are compared both with each other and with the limited experimental data that exists. Methods which are capable of providing good estimates of equilibrium and failure depths of penetration, as well as maximum bending moment, are then identified...

WING, BSc, MS, PhD, MIMechE* This Paper reviews the current state of development of robotics in the construction industry, contrasting the approaches of different nations. The unresolved technical, planning, and human requirements are presented, and likely scenarios for the introduction of this technology are proposed. Introduction The introduction of robotics technology into the building construction industry willbe influenced primarily by cultural and financial considerations, and to a lesser extent by technical capability-cultural by virtue of the very different rates at which nations will accept the implications of this technology-stereotyping of components, changes in skill requirements, reduction of hazards, and the whole concept of working alongside intelligent machines-and financial by virtue of the large investments which will be necessary in the application of several aspects of leading-edge technology...

MOORE, PhD, PEng* When eflluent is discharged from a submerged marine outfall it rises to the surface because of buoyancy and is diluted with sea water as it does so. Reasonably accurate means of predicting dilution in still water are available and a number of methods have been proposed for estimating dilution of jets discharged into moving water...

Amstad, Member, South Australia The foundation and major controlling factor in design practice control is the fee structure, as enunciated by the Authors in their Paper. If events such as the recent collapse of a Canadian supermarket roof, where it was revealed, among other matters, that the consulting engineer's fee was ridiculously low, are not to recur, then it is essential that fee competition be based on properly prepared design contract documents and with minimum fees for various services established by legislation backed up by severe penalties foroffenders...
