Nowhere is this backwardness more strongly in evidence than in standard specifications, codes of practice, rules and regulations issued by public authorities, classification societies, insurance companies, and other public or semi-public bodies of this kind.","PeriodicalId":287707,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Engineering","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1966-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125104890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They maintained that the bridge would otherwise prove unequal to the task of sustaining eighteenth century loads. When the writer of this article, in 1959, crossed the roadway of this bridge he was firmly of the opinion that traffic accelerated towards him. The effect upon him was considerable, but the effect upon the bridge was no more than all other traffic in the intervening 180 years.","PeriodicalId":287707,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Engineering","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1963-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125279093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
