S. Mackey教授（F）：我的主要关注点是要了解为什么在英国，将风和压力测量的记录有限，以至于如果应用于香港的条件，将使建筑物的经济设计变得不可能。
Mr. B. Rhodes: Mr. Longbottom has done less than justice to large diameter strand, by which I mean 28 mm (1 1/8 in) diameter strand. I know it is not used a lot, but this is really because of lack of effort on the part of the manufacturers and the system suppliers. 28 mm diameter strand has certain basic drawbacks, namely: 1. The shape of the load/extension curve 2. Relaxation losses at 6 per cent 3. Lower grip efficiencies 4. The tendency to fly open when cut 5. The 'banana' effect at the ends
The author's experience on several codes-of-practice committees has led him to the conclusion that one of the greatest fields of uncertainty lies in the specifying of effective lengths of continuous columns. This is coincidental with the difficulty of calculating elastic critical load factors and dealing with frame instability. Comprehensive design charts are given for effective lengths of columns with any local degree of end restraint, both for sway and no sway conditions. To design for the limit-state of collapse it is essential to discover new 'desk' methods of dealing with overall frame instability when effective lengths based on local restraints are not accurate enough. A new technique of 'stiffness distribution', akin to moment distribution, will be acceptable in a drawing office, both for steel and reinforced concrete frames, at the same time providing rapid estimates of the other limit-state of permissible sidesway. Important modifications for strain hardening and composite panel stiffening are included, indicating the urgent need for more full-scale tests on composite action with cladding. The emphasis throughout has been on simplicity of theory and of the many worked examples. R.H. Wood
In recent months Sir Kirby Laing, Sir St. John Elstub and Mr. A. G. Milne, as Presidents respectively of the Institutions of Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineers have been considering the future organization of the profession. At the beginning of July Sir Leonard Atkinson, as Chairman of the CEI, invited the presidents of all 15 CEI constituent institutions to consider an analysis of what was seen by the three Presidents as being the current problem. At that meeting it was arranged that the respective Presidents would consult informally with their Council colleagues and return to the matter at the end of September.
上次7月20日，参考。胸罩/1068/2，美国能源部介绍了下面给地方当局，新城镇开发公司等的信。这封信包含对约翰·卡斯爵士基金会和英格兰红色外套教堂失败的BRE报告的评估。中学，Stepney，并制定了一项检查和评估的行动计划。该信件上的附件是测试高氧化铝水泥混凝土的附件建议，该建议于第326页发表。
As reported in Institution Notes on page 322, the Council recently asked the Secretary of State for Energy to take action to solve a number of difficulties experienced by British engineers working on the design of North Sea installations. The disquiet felt by the Institution was set out in detail in an appendix to a letter to the Minister, the text of which is given below.

无论以任何标准炸弹伤害是一件棘手的事情。Even when considered by the structural engineer back in his office and away from the debris and the broken glass, it is untidy and presents problems that are far different from those entailed in the design of new works. Peter S. Rhodes
