- PORTLAND CEMENT AS A CONTRIBUTION TO STRUCTURAL ECONOMY 463 is a t present under consideration by a Committee of the British Standards Institute. To sum up, there are practical dficulties in introducing a new grade of Portland cement. A first step would be to find ways of overcoming the present uncontrollable factor of coal quality. The next would be to reduce the variation in cement-testing because the difference in strength between ordinary Portland cement as a t present manufactured and that of rapid-hardening cement is not great enough to make the introduction of another grade reasonably practicable...

- TIGNES DAM AND MALGOVERT TUNNEL 513 Discussion The Author introduced the Paper with the aid of two films. Mr H.D. Morgan said that the dam was a typical one by Mr Coyne, but he was a little surprised to see that it was designed with concentric arches. That was not Mr Cope's usual practice, and it would be interesting to know why he had done it. There might be some good reason for it of which the Author was aware. The rate of placing thk concrete was remarkable. The average daily output of 2,550 cubic yards with a maximum of 6,000 cubic yards was an excellent performance...

- FLOOD OF AUGUST 1952 676 application of the Bruton records. It was, of course, very unlikely that a storm.centre would exactly coincide with a river catchment, but it was not impossible. The analysis in the present Paper was the basis of the constructional work which was to give Lynmouth complete safety. Mr Green had been very generous in giving advice in the field, and he had now added a contribution to the discussion which contained essential information on which hydraulic computations could be based. The Authors welcomed Mr Collinge's interestingcontribution which focused attention on the difficulty of estimating the period of concentration of a catchment area whose gathering grounds and rivers had not been surveyed in sufficient detail to permit a full hydraulic analysis...

The Authors, in reply, stated that Captain Foster's proposal to use spans of 25 or 30 feet would appIy to cases where a low total cube was desired. In other cases such small spans were thought to involve unnecessary complications. The use of prestressed valley beams was thoroughlypracticable but the possibility and economy of their being spaced a t quite large centres should be kept in mind...
