The Structural Engineer, Volume 32, Issue 8, 1954
Sir,-We welcome this paper by Dr. Wood because for the first time in an official publication the nonproportionality of the stanchion moments with the load, for increase of loads above the design loads, is recognised and the irrational basis of the theory published by the Steel Structures Research Committee is clearly demonstrated.
The method presented here is applicable only to portal frames with hinged base columns, but as about 80 per cent. of every-day portal design comes under this category, it must be agreed that this fact does not seriously affect its usefulness to the designer. J.F. Horridge
This month's letters include discussion over design checks and suitably experienced engineers as well as seismic design of masonry and more.
