在威斯敏斯特学院（Westminster College）和伦敦市中心（Central London）的理工学院为第3部分准备课程演讲了多年之后，我的主要主题是阅读“候选人的笔记”和“审查员的提醒”。B.W.J.男孩们
‘George, one of the precast cladding units has just fallen apart when the contractor tried to lift it into place. Do you think you could pop down to site and have a quick look at it for me?’ J.J. Ward
预应力的渠道部分是作者实践的进一步发展结构砌体，并源于早期的创新。该概念起源于鳍墙的变化，这些变化基本上是一系列连接的T型截面。在一份合同中，为了提供地板到屋顶玻璃，有必要消除鳍之间的替代面板部分。其余部分被视为连接的L梁（见图1）。事后看来，它可以更好地设计为渠道部分。G. Shaw，W.G。Curtin，C.L。祭司和G.J.奥赛克
The Institution has a responsibility to promote excellence in structural engineering and quality in construction. In choosing to join the Instiitution, the members subscribe to these ideals and assist in implementing policies to maintain and enhance the effectiveness of professional membership. Excellence in design involves more than the application of Codes of Practice and calculation procedures. The ability to deal with these formal aspects of design must be combined with an ability to understand, guide and interpret a client’s requirements to provide a structure of the appropriate quality. Recognition and production of quality through design is implicit to the work of the chartered structural engineer. Peter Campbell and John W. Dougill
Valley Parade (Fig 1) was excavated from a steep hillside in 1886 by Manningham Rugby Club. With the formation of the Football League 2 years later, soccer became a craze. By 1903 the club had changed its name and affiliations and was elected to the League. The ground was an open site until 1908 when City won promotion to the First Division. R. Corrigan
Most engineers will by now have noticed a substantial bandwagon rolling in their direction, marked ‘quality assurance’. The cognoscenti call it ‘QA’, and there are QA contractors, QA managers, and QA registered firms. The British Standards Institution, at the Government’s behest, is promoting the idea heavily, producing a British Standard on the subject (BS5750) and running a Quality Assurance Services Department, which assesses and registers firms on the basis of their QA and encourages major clients to give work to registered firms.
