HAIDER, MSc, DIC, FICE* The LlangollenChirk part of the canal system is perhaps the most attractive of the many canals built in Great Britain during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Pontcysyllte aqueduct, which carries the canal 37 m above theRiver Dee, and is a 307 m long continuous structure, is Telford's masterpiece on the canalsystem. For much of its length in the Vale of Llangollen, the canal is benched into hill-slopes and is founded on glacially derived materials...

SHIPWAY, BSc, FICE, MIES, FIStructE* This Paper describes the history, design and construction of the Tay railway bridge. The design and construction of the present bridge are so inextricably bound up with the failure of its predecessor in the disaster of 1879 that any description of it must begin with the story of the earlier first effort to bridge the Tay...

The cost of carrying out this work runs into many billions of dollars. The economic benefits of road maintenance are considerable, but some technical assistance projects, funded by donors and carried out by consultants, have failed to effect permanent improvements in the performance of road maintenance departments...

MIYAE, DrEngt The Tatsumi Canal is a monumental work remarkable in the history of Japanese water supply canals, and was constructed by the overseer Hyoshiro Itaya in 1632. This Paper is primarily concerned with technological aspects. The technologies used in the hydraulics, channel excavation, the water conveyance pipe system and pipe manufacture are reviewed. The water head loss was minimized by widening at bends, by cutting a curved groove along the channel bed near the inner rounded corner of the bend, and by minimizing the surface roughness of the channel...

Woolley and R. M. Conlin Mr R. E. Joyce, Pinsent & Co. The use of pulverized fuel ash (PFA) in concrete is now well established in the UK although not many years past the industry's approach was cautious and lagged several years behind concrete practice overseas.

Peel, BSct Industrial relations are the interactions between employer and employee, and the ways in which these interactions are regulated. Often, but not always, the employee's point ofview is represented by a trade union. Trade unions have appeared and developed during the past 100 years or so, in order that unfairness on the part of the employer, in terms of his hiring, firing, rates of pay and so on, can be balanced by the collective strength and resistance of the employees...
