The Structural Engineer, Volume 59, Issue 6, 1981
Limit state design Mr M. J. Fothergill writes: Mr Skinner, in the February 1981 issue, raised the topic of limit state design once more, and made a very important point which I felt could have been developed more strongly, instead of diverting into a discussion of the relative merits of CP 114 and CP 110. Verulam
The paper reviews the evolution of structures in unity with architecture in ancient Greece, to the growth of science and engineering during the I7th, 18th, and 19th centuries, which progressively divided architecture and engineering at a time when philosophers such as Kant were arguing for the recognition of aesthetics as equal to reason. T. Harley-Haddow
Mr E. W. Bunn (F) (GLC): I am convinced that a great many of us-certainly those approaching my age-have lived without CP 114 for a long while. Certainly, before 1948 we had to live without CP 114 because it did not even exist. In those days, most of us had a ‘little black book’ with all our notes from college, evening classes, office practice and so forth, with pull-out charts and tables with moment factors, lever-arm factors and all the rest of the design aids.
