SYNOPSIS The Paper discusses various elastic theories and simplifying assumptions which have been used by practising structural engineers. A brief explanation of the plastic-hinge theory for reinforced-concrete frameworks is given and applied to the example of a four-bay frame any number of storeys in height. Bending-moment formulae are derived for sway and vertical load moments which apply for limiting ratios of stiffness, etc...

The improvements in construction methods, in structural designand in soil mechanics, which have taken place during this period, and particularly in the past 25 years, have madeit practicable to construct high buildings on all but the worst ground...

INthe past two or three decades there has been a growing tendency for both height and size of buildings to increase and, although the taller buildings so far erected in the London area have not reached the heights of those which are primarily under discussion in this symposium, the effect of their construction and use has been studied as one of the aspects of the traffic problem in the more congested parts of the Central London area...

- TRAFFIC THE AND PARKING PROBLEMS 275 will provide an excellent grandstand from which to view the total traffic strangul'ation of the surrounding area ! Quite seriously, it is only by planning and reconstruction on a wider and more vigorous scale than has yet been done, that the traffic authorities in any of the more prosperous older cities of the world will be able to deal adequately-and amicably-with the two majorproblems outlined in this Paper. In conclusion, the Author points out that the opinions expressed in the Paper are hisown personal views and are not necessarilythose of the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis...

Mr Puller had dealt with the mechanical operation of the gates. There had been a little trouble in the early stages when testing the bridge. The gates had been closed a t night and two cars drove into them when going rather fast...

- 436 DISCUSSION ON THE EMPLOYMENT OF UNIT HYDROQRAPHS TO The Authorregretted that he had not yet had the opportunity of using the method for determining storage discharge relations described by Mr Blackmore but would certainly do so, using the data available in Ireland. He feared therefore that he could not adequately discuss Mr Blackmore's contribution a t present. The Author could well appreciate the difficulties referred to by Mr MacDonald of deriving unit hydrographs for heavily controlled or tidal rivers. In such cases the experimental technique might prove impossible. Perhaps they were lucky in Ireland since many large rivers were free from control andtidal influence...

- 536 DISCUSSION ON THE CIVIL ENGINEER experienced. Their distribution around theshell was based on experiments on much lower heights of chimney, and yet this distribution is important in the case of the ventilationshafts,particularly a t gallery level. In many of the structures it has been necessary to use monolithic concrete designs, even when subjected totemperature effects, without it being possible to obtain anyreliable guidance on the real stresses set up thereby. The development of power plants throughout Britain, as envisaged during the next20 years, will lead to the active participation of many more engineers in this work, and theAuthor looks forward to the rapid development of the technology associated with it...

Any considerable addition to the October cross-sectional areas in section 1 would lead to an unusually high value for rz, or alternatively to a high value for the low-tide discharge, if the low-tide observed slope was to be reproduced. In section 1 the reduction in area assumed in thePaper was equivalent to raising the bed by anaverage of less than 1 ft. I n connexion with the application of the equations to the flood tide, the unfavourable conditions in the tidal Ouse and the lack of sufficiently accurate observations would have made the calculation of the flood tide too unreliable to have been of much use, Normally the whole tidal cycle would be dealt with...
