  • Yorkshire Swale Flood History 2013
    Yorkshire Swale flood history 2013 Sources The greater part of the information for the River Swale comes from a comprehensive PhD thesis by Hugh Bowen Willliams to the University of Leeds in 1957.He in turn has derived his information from newspaper reports, diaries, local topographic descriptions, minutes of Local Authority and Highway Board and, further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts. The information is supplemented by various conversations which Williams had with farmers who owned land adjacent to the river. Where possible the height of the flood at the nearest cross- section of the place referred to in the notes is given. This has either been levelled or estimated from the available data. Together with the level above Ordnance Datum (feet) and the section in question there is given (in brackets) the height of the flood above normal water level. Information is also included from the neighbouring dales (mainly Wensleydale and Teesdale) as this gives some indication of conditions in Swaledale. Williams indicates that this is by no means a complete list, but probably contains most of the major floods in the last 200 years, together with some of the smaller ones in the last 70 years. Date and Rainfall Description sources 11 Sep 1673 Spate carried away dwelling house at Brompton-on-Swale. Burnsell Bridge on the Wharfe was washed away. North Riding Selseth Bridge in the Parish of Ranbaldkirke became ruinous by reason of the late great storm. Quarter Sessions (NRQS) ?

  • Early Applications of Prestressed Concrete in the United Kingdom
    SP-231—2 Early Applications of Prestressed Concrete in the United Kingdom by C. Burgoyne Synopsis: The initial impetus to the application of prestressed concrete in the United Kingdom was heavily driven by the conditions imposed by the Second World War. Refugees from Germany, particularly Mautner and Abeles, brought skills and knowledge of tests carried out in France and Germany. The need to provide emergency structures, both for military purposes and to meet civilian needs, together with shortages of many materials, especially steel, led to the construction of beams on a scale, and at a speed, which would not have taken place in more normal times. The paper covers developments in the UK from the outbreak of the war in 1939 up to the early 1950s, when more normal times returned. This period of development is still not properly documented because security conditions prevented the publication of full details of the applications. Keywords: history; prestressed concrete; United Kingdom 15 16 Burgoyne Chris Burgoyne is Reader in Concrete Structures at the University of Cambridge. His principal research interest is in the use of aramid fibres as prestressing tendons for concrete structures, but his interest in the historical development of prestressed concrete stems from working with the late Prof. Sir Alan Harris at Imperial College in London. INTRODUCTION Prestressed Concrete was not developed in Britain, but several early applications took place there. The Second World War had a major effect since it significantly affected both the need for structural elements and the supply of materials. Freyssinet’s used jacking at the crown of arches at Rairéals-sur-Besbre (1911), Veurdre (1912) and Boutiron (1913 – Figure 1) to overcome the effects of concrete shrinkage and creep1, and he conducted laboratory experiments which eventually led to his influential patent in 19282.
