The following note has been prepared by Mr. T. N. W. Akroyd, MScTech, LLB(Hons), CEng, FIStructE. MICE (Vice-President), who appeared as an expert witness for the London Borough of Merton when the claim was heard for damages and consequential loss arising from subsidence damage at the block of flats in South West London. In the event, as readers may recall, the parties settled the case out of Court. Mr. Akroyd's review emphasises again the responsibilities of the chartered structural engineer. They have always been onerous; recent cases have neither added to nor subtracted from them.

The term 'permissible stress' used in CP 1 14 describes a number that is defined by that Code and that, when used in formulae specified therein, defines a limit to the recommended service load for the element under consideration. It does not purport to correspond to the actual stress expected to occur in the element when subjected to the deduced value of service load, and any detailed consideration of the means by which this number was selected should show that it cannot be expected to do so in a material as complex as reinforced concrete.

D. R. R. Dick先生（前任总裁）：1940年，当作品部征用了Anne女王的豪宅为海军部的豪宅，我是一个结构工程师，领导该团队在伦敦市中心进行维护。维护测量师要求我去那里，并向他们的结构稳健提供一些指导。因此，我对您引用的关于地板负荷和优势的数字负责，但我没有在Kilonewtons中做到这一点！
在处理科学技术的发展时，历史学家有兴趣识别原始的Idea5或概念及其随后的扩散和阐述以及有关著名科学家和工程师的传记信息。从塞缪尔（Samuel）微笑到L T. C. Rolt，传记传统一直是对技术历史的流行而有力的影响。这种方法倾向于在英雄规模上产生历史，而很少强调思想的发展和互换或技术变革的连续性。另一方面，经济历史学家很可能会查看工业革命的某些方面，而没有提及那些负责特定技术发展的工程师。例如，人们可以根据生产的单元数量，其地理分布以及对工厂系统扩展的影响来查看蒸汽机的历史。但是，本文关注现代悬架桥的发展背后的思想和领先工程师。E.L.肯普
A compliment and a complaint Mr. J. N. Barber has this to say about the journal and about certain observations in the Annual Report (April 1979): As an outsider who is nevertheless fortunate enough to see The Structural Engineer regularly, may I assure you that the present format and content of your journal is far superior to the fare served up in other places.
