The following abstracts summarize papers published by others on the subject of steel design and construction that may be of interest to Engineering Journal readers.rnThis paper presents the results of an extensive programme of material and full-scale laboratory tests undertaken on existing cast iron columns from St Pancras Railway Station in London. The original station, which was constructed during the 1860s, has been upgraded to form the international terminus for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. The current use will impose greater vertical loads and horizontal displacements on the cast iron columns than they previously experienced. A preliminary assessment suggested that it would be prudent to undertake a program of tests to determine the material properties and understand the structural behavior under load with more confidence.
