- INTRODUCTION. IN the calculations made in designing reinforced-concrete members, the effects of shrinkage and creep upon the stresses produced under working conditions are usually neglected. Nevertheless it is well known that changes in stress produced with the lapse of time, due to these two causes, are very important, and accurate measurements of both changes have been made. It follows that the designer using ordinary methods of design must ask himself the question : " Assuming that a reinforced-concrete section is designed according to standard theory, so that it initially carries t Correspondence on this Paper may be accepted until the 15th June, 1949, and will be published in a Supplement (obtainable on request) to the Institution Journal for October 1949...

- INTRODUCTION. CODE requirements for the design of framed buildings demand that if their heightlwidth ratio exceeds a certain minimum their framework shall be designed to resist wind loading. However, so far as is known, no failure of a multi-storey framed building due to wind loading has occurred in Great Britain,n or have anyfull-wale testsb een carried out tod etermine the accuracy of the conventional methods used in wind design. In fact, it appears probable that the framework of a normal multi-storey building carries little, if any, loading from wind forces...

- HISTORY. H.M.S. Vernon Establishment is on the east of Portsmouth harbour. The site lay below high water, but around 1800 it was reclaimed and buildings were erected, many of which have since been demolished to enable multi-storey offices and single-storey workshops to be erected, as shown in Fig. 1. BORINGS. To determine the foundations required, thirty-five trial bores were made, six being in the sea near a proposed wharf. The ground-level was at 12 O...

- The solutiono f the particular problemo f removing spoil froma n underground rock excavation, described in this Note, was born in an idle moment on the back of an envelope not long after the Author arrived in Malta, in October 1941, as the representative there of the Civil Engineer-in-Chief of the Admiralty. The general method, used in the island for many years, of removing spoil from underground rock excavations through vertical shafts, was by means of simple guyed timber Scotch-type derricks...
