The Structural Engineer, Volume 67, Issue 10, 1989
Design for wind loading The most recent contribution to this extended discussion was in our issue of 20 December, when Mr Haseltine was still disposed to challenge the view that had been expressed by John Mayne of the Building Research Establishment (21 June 1988) that the wind pressures in the 1972 Code had a sounder basis than correspondents were ascribing to them. In this controversial issue we are pleased to have received, from Mr A. P. Robertson of the AFRC Institute of Engineering Research, an account of some results from measurements of wind pressures on full- scale low-rise buildings at its station at Silsoe. Verulam
I am very honoured, flattered, as well as somewhat surprised, to receive the Institution’s Gold Medal. I am not sure that I deserve it, but I am sure that it is more a tribute to the firm which I have been privileged to serve for many years than to my personal contribution. G.J. Zunz
Professor A. Jennings Q (Queen’s University of Belfast): It is disturbing that, in the study of structural analysis and design, we rarely take even a sideways glance at what might be learnt from the great world of nature. The author’s paper is therefore a step in the right direction.
