Abstract
A major part of this issue deals with topics that hare recently attracted the attention of CIB working group W 23. which is concerned with loadbearing walls. Beginning this section, the following paper presents an analysis of the problem of instability in large structures and develops some critical general propositions related to the phenomenon of instability. A set of four principal strategies for an engineering design philosophy are then proposed. It is suggested that any method of stability control in structural systems must incorporate one or more of these strategies. The author works at the Scottish Laboratory of the UK Building Research Establishment.
