There has been an increasing interest in the past decade in the use of computers for the design of structures. The rapid increase in computer technology has encouraged this interest and provided a stimulus for the development of programs that can be made
available on the engineer3 desk. This paper presents a review of the current position from the point of view of the engineer seeking to gain information. It indicates the limitations of computer applications, gives some guidance on the types of program available, and considers possible future developments.

Verulam

Insurance and underpinning Both Mr. Bratchell and Mr. A. J. 0. Russell have expressed views on this issue, first raised by Mr. Collett (January 1979) and commented on by Mr. Park (May l979). From Mr. Bratchell: I suggest that the question of insurance of house foundations should be related to a reasonable expectation of life of the building. If a domestic house is expected to be designed and built for a life of, say, 50 years, one can hardly claim for foundation renewal at, say, 60 years. It ought to be possible to lay down guidelines which take account of expected life, and thus to allocate costs between repair and betterment. In my view, the need for underpinning should be covered by insurance only if it relates to a cause other than deterioration from age. Verulam
