Abnormal Loading on Structures Abnormal Loading on Structures Experimental and numerical modelling Edited by K. S. Virdi, R. S. Matthews, J. L. Clarke and F. K. Garas Due to unforeseen circumstances the Abnormal Loading on Structures conference did not take place. However, it is hoped that this collection of papers will be a useful and authoratitive guide to state-of-the-art research in this key area of structural engineering.

ESPER 357 Author Index Subject Index 358 INSTITUTION OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS' INFORMAL STUDY GROUP 'MODEL ANALYSIS AS A DESIGN TOOL' The Group, which was formed in February 1977, operates under the auspices of the Institution of Structural Engineers and presently membership stands at over 500 covering some 40 different countries. Members come from a wide range of backgrounds including: research, design, engineering and contracting organisations, universities, government departments, local authorities and utility companies. The primary objective of the Group is to create opportunities for members of the Institution and the profession to exchange information on the use of testing and model analysis to solve design problems. The scope of the Group encompasses the whole spectrum of structural engineering applications including: conventional structures, bridges, foundations, pressure vessels, offshore, harbour and coastal structures etc. It is intended to cover structures made of a wide range of materials and subjected to different loading conditions. The Group's activities comprise the publication of a quarterly newsletter, organising international conferences, visits to test centres in the UK and Europe, sponsoring specialist lectures and holding an annual prize award competition for student dissertations on the application of physical modelling and testing in design. Further information about the Group may be obtained from the Convenor, Prof F K Garas, FIStructE, 6 Amersham Gardens, High Wycombe, HP 13 6QP, UK.
