A weekly programme about work
In the world of science
Soil Mechanics by A. W. Skempton , D.SC., of Imperial College, London
Tonight's talk deals with a curious anomaly in the history of civil engineering. Dr. Skempton points out that soil mechanics is usually thought of as a recent development, but that it is truer to say that it was neglected for more than half a century. He enquires into the reasons for this gap in the growth of what is now recognised as an important branch of applied science.
