KNOWLES, MA, MPhil, MICE, FIHT* The process of castellation was patented in 1939. Applied mainly to rolled sections for use as beams, it has been for many years a significant feature in steel construction. The Paper describes the steps leading up to the invention and the early attempts to devise methods of calculating the load carrying capacity and deflexion of castellated beams...

PARISH, BSC,MICE* The properties required of the surfacing on a runway of a military airfield are described, and distinctions are drawnbetween the needs for the ends of the runway and for the main interior length. The extent to which various materials or combinations of materials satisfy the respective requirements is discussed. For each material, references are made to experiences during surfacing or maintenance which illustrated potential shortcomings or pointed to a need for attention to particular aspects in either design or specification...

CHANDLER,BSqEng), PhD, MICE* Earthquake building codes specify design loadings in terms of idealized elastic response spectra. These are intended to allow for the effects of different soils and geological conditions, earthquake magnitude and epicentral distance by the inclusion of approximate sitedependent criteria for earthquake-resistant design. This Paper examines the seismic design provisions of Eurocode EC8 (1989), the USA Uniform Building Code UBC (1988) and the National Building Code of Canada NBCC (1990),in comparison with the results of a detailed statistical analysis of the spectral shapes of 45 ground motionrecords obtained from 25 earthquakes from the Western USA, Europe, the Middle East and the Southern Pacific...

CHOI, MSc, MCIOB* F. c.HARRIS, BEng, MSc,PhD, MICE, MCIOBt Introduction The consideration of construction site layout from the operational point of view is an indivisible part of construction planning, as the physical factors of a site often have a direct bearing on the method, sequence and duration of every site activity. However, construction managers often design site layouts in a subjective way, without formal consideration of the quantitative criteria; the resulting site layouts are therefore not optimized and may lead to extra transportation cost, wastage of time and of materials...

R.McKay* C. van Beesten, Fellow The Authors have succeeded admirably in presenting a Paper which sets out the concept of streamlined flows through constrictions in rivers by arranging the flow boundaries along lines that meet their requirement of a constant Froude number equal to unity. First impressions make the idea seem difficult to envisage in practical applications, as the developed geometry of structures appears to be too far removed from thenatural shapes of river channels...

Mouchel & Partners Ltd The sample surveyed this Paper is very small. Irealize that thelow response rate in (37%) is not the fault of the Authors, but to include onlyeleven contractors in the survey when there are about 400 in the FCECseems veryinadequate. It is not only the small size of the contractor sample which concerns me but the fact that only contractorshave been canvassed...

It is affecting all four of the major components of airport operations, namely air space, runways, terminals and ground access. It is causing increased anxiety about safety, thus necessitating an urgent review of the shortterm measures which may be practicable to reduce or containthe effects of congestion and the longer term measures which may be necessary to prevent or contain it in the future...
