The Structural Engineer, Volume 63, Issue 7, 1985
CP 110 and its shortcuts Suggestions and proposals -for simplifying the methods of design recommended in CP 110 occur fairly frequently in this column. We were prompted to look at some of the earlier references and found them in issues which included August 1982, January 1983, January 1984, October 1984, and January 1985. We have now received a further contribution from Mr P. E. Wheatley of Easterton, Wiltshire, who draws our attention to another proposal. Verulam
At a recent conference on the subject of ‘Durability and design life’, opinion was divided as to whether it would be possible to define ‘design life’ and designate appropriate periods, and, if so, whether it would serve a useful purpose. The reasoning for establishing the intended design life of any particular structure is put forward here. G.E. Bratchell
Mr A. Edwards (Higgs & Hill): As a non-member of the Institution I found this paper exceptionally readable and comprehensive, and I would congratulate the authors on giving such a clear picture of the development of the project and of its complexity.
