A monthly series on current questions in architecture and town planningStresses and Strains by Ronald Jenkins
The speaker, a chartered civil engineer, talks about changing conceptions in the field of engineering structures. These have only partly been brought about by the use of modern materials such as steel and reinforced or pre-stressed concrete. Of equal importance in the creation of a new concept of structural design, the speaker argues, has been clearer thinking on what is meant by a safe structure.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
