The Training of Engineers

This paper describes the essential features of the receipt & storage facility which forms part of the THORP nuclear reprocessing plant at Sellafield. G.W. Jordan and A.P. Mann

The paper describes the design of one of the largest religious buildings in the world, featuring extensive use of reinforced in situ and precast concrete, structural aluminium, and vitreous enamelled steel cladding panels. Great consideration was given in the design to speed of erection and longevity of materials. S.R. Atkinson

A major research project has been carried out by the Universities of Manchester and Salford in which the behaviour of steel portal frames up to failure was investigated. The project was concerned principally with the testing of three full-scale portal frames and the development of a non-linear finite element analysis program. Supplementary studies included second-order elastic-plastic frame analysis and the effect of stiffeners on connection flexibility. Professor J.M. Davies, P. Engel, T.T.C. Liu and L.J. Morris
