In A History of British Motorways, Dr Charlesworth presents a fascinating account of the way political and social attitudes concerning motorways have evolved.  He describes the early road policies before and between the two World Wars and goes on to cover the building accelerated in the 1960s; however, during the 1970s objections began to be raised on environmental and social grounds.These, coupled with the oil crisis of 1973/4 and the general downturn in the economy, reduced the progress that was being made.

This volume of selected papers by Professor A W Skempton is published to mark his 70th birthday on 4th June 1984.
In making the selection of papers we aimed to show Skempton's breadth of interest and achievement int he general field of mechanics and to include papers that the practising engineer, research worker and student will find of value to have at hand. For the early papers the selection was influenced by a historical interest in addition to intrinsic merit.

The vast extent of the investment in concrete structures in modern times has emphasized the need to maintain these structures in a systematic manner, so that they retain their structural integrity and full usefulness. Such maintenance must be preceded by regular and thorough inspection. This Guide to Good Practice describes the many types of damage - slight or more serious - which may be discovered and the equipment used to carry out inspections. Suggested inspection intervals, related to the severity of loadings and environmental conditions, are given.
