The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) needs a fresh approach if it is to continue playing a credible, inspiring and sustainable role on the global civil engineering stage. Former ICE director general and secretary Tom Foulkes says some hard choices lie on the road ahead.

"Coackley, Richard James, (born 8 Dec. 1954), Director: URS Corporation Ltd, 2012–14; AECOM Infrastructure & Environment UK Ltd, 2014–17, Independent Adviser, since 2017; President, Institution of Civil Engineers, 2011–12; Chair, Reservoirs Panel, Institution of Civil Engineers, since 2019" published on by Oxford University Press.

The Royal Society of Chemistry, the Geological Society, the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Nuclear Institute, the Institution of Chemical Engineers, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Mineralogical Society organized a wide-ranging conference themed around the geological disposal of radioactive waste from 18th–20th October 2011 at the Burleigh Court Conference Centre, Loughborough University, Loughborough, UK. One of its principal objectives was to showcase and publish research relevant to radioactive waste storage and disposal. The event was supported by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and the Energy Generation and Supply Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) for the Nuclear Sector, and kindly sponsored by AMEC and the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL). The conference brought together scientists, engineers and other interested specialists to discuss the chemical, biological, geological, hydrological, materials, engineering and other scientific and technological challenges associated with the long-term management of radioactive waste in the UK. The scientific committee peer-reviewed all abstracts received prior to the conference, and determined those best for oral and poster presentation. Papers presented in this issue of Mineralogical Magazine were subsequently subjected to a detailed and independent peer-review process. The organizing committee consisted of Nick Evans (chair), Loughborough University; Katherine Morris, The University of Manchester; Neil Smart and Gordon Turner, Nuclear Decommissioning Authority; Nic Bilham, Geological Society; Glen Owen, Institution of Civil Engineers; Claire Gallery-Strong, Nuclear Institute; Sam Shaw, Mineralogical Society; Steve Lancaster, Royal Society of Chemistry; Richard Ploszek, Royal Academy of Engineering; and Richard Shaw, British Geological Survey. The organizing committee would like to place on record its thanks to the sponsors (see back cover) and exhibitors. The conference was organized in thematic sessions and this volume is presented in the same manner. Each of the sections begins with a peer-reviewed paper from the NDA outlining its view on the state-of-the-art in …

This article presents a tutorial of the bases for, and problems encountered with, the resistivity and induced polarization methods in geotechnical and environmental applications. It commences with a discussion of aqueous electrolytic conduction in rocks including consideration of the effects of temperature, rock texture, rock type, geological processes, and of the presence of clay minerals. Both electrode and membrane polarization in soils and rocks are described. The elementary theory for the resistivity and induced polarization methods is introduced via formulas for electrodes on homogeneous and layered half-spaces. The notion of apparent resistivity is presented. Vertical electric sounding is described in relation to curve types, inversion, equivalence, anisotropy, and correlation. Profiling with resistivity is briefly treated while combined sounding-profiling is treated in more detail for both the resistivity and induced polarization methods. The parameters used to describe the induced polarization phenomena are introduced. A brief discourse follows on data acquisition and processing, including design considerations for transmitters and receivers, electrodes, and wire logistics. A section on arrays and the factors involved in selecting an array provokes the disclosure that while their application in geotechnical and environmental studies usually is straightforward much remains to be learned about the resistivity and induced polarization methods in general. Specific topics requiring study are comparative studies of various arrays in (a) depth of exploration in sounding and in profiling, (b) resolution of horizontal structures, (c) sensitivity to depth, (d) sensitivity to lateral effects, (e) sensitivity to buried and surface topography, and (f) the effectiveness of focused arrays. References to recent significant publications on one-, two-, and three-dimensional forward and inverse interpretation procedures follow. Problems encountered with these methods are initially treated under the section on arrays and are expanded with specific reference to geologic noise and negative induced polarization effects. The advantages of focused arrays are illustrated. The paper concludes with nine representative examples of applications.

Civil engineers need to look closely at the ethical and social impacts of the so-called fourth industrial revolution in construction. Fred Sherratt of Anglia Ruskin University reviews the potential pitfalls highlighted in the Institution of Civil Engineers’ Management, Procurement and Law journal.

Climate change is the biggest threat to the planet at present, and the consequent change in infrastructure requirements will require everyone, in particular civil engineers, to respond in the way they design, construct and maintain infrastructure. This paper sets out the Institution of Civil Engineers’ response to the challenge by setting up a task force to provide input to all its members so that they are better equipped to deal with the challenge. The aim of the task force is to provide material by the end of 2017 that will help all members and to influence the wider public.

In the second article from the Institution of Civil Engineers’ thought leadership programme, Tom Dolan and Ellie Cosgrave from University College London propose a new way to ensure that infrastructure investment delivers the desired benefits for society.

CAMBRIDGE.—The Institution of Civil Engineers has resolved to exempt Bachelors of Arts who obtain honours in the Mechanical Sciences Tripos from the examination prescribed for the Associate Membership of the Institution.

Laura Cunliffe-Hall is Lead Policy Manager in the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Policy and External Affairs team. She discusses the Institution’s plans for engaging the new government and the announcements of note for infrastructure and development.

The paper provides a comparative analysis of two engineering institutions in nineteenth-century Belgium and Britain, the pioneer nations of the industrial revolution situated on each side of the North Sea. The Association des ingénieurs sortis de l'école de Liège is examined in parallel with the pioneer engineering association, the Institution of Civil Engineers. The authors look at the key issues involved in running a flourishing engineering society in a Western capitalist industrial nation during the nineteenth century. They conclude that they depend, to a large extent, on the national context in which the engineering profession was allowed to develop. Although there were clearly major national divergences in the fields of education, institutional proliferation and membership, there were similarities regarding their mission statement, chairmanship, field of expertise and internationalisation.

OWING to sudden illness, Mr. W. B. Worthington asked at the end of October to be released from the duties of the presidency of the Institution of Civil Engineers. Mr. Harry Jones, who has been elected to succeed him, delivered the presidential address before the institution on November 6. Mr. Jones is the chairman of the High Explosives Committee, of which Lord Moulton is president, and is the first member of the gas engineering profession who has occupied the chair at the Institution of Civil Engineers. In his address he dealt with modern developments in gas practice, how far the practice has been making itself useful during the war, the fresh prospects it has in the coming time of peace, and, finally, the special qualification of the gas engineer and the work he has to do. Subjoined are extracts from the address.

ON the joint recommendation of the presidents of the Royal Society and the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Council of the Institution of Civil Engineers has awarded the James Alfred Ewing Medal for 1944 to Mr. B. N. Wallis. The Medal is awarded annually for specially meritorious contributions to the science of engineering in the field of research. Mr. Wallis is chief of aeronautical research and development to Vickers-Armstrongs, Ltd. He invented and designed the special type of bomb used for the destruction of the Moehne and Eder Dams in Germany in 1943, and designed the Tallboy and 10-ton bombs used by the R.A.F. He was responsible for the design and construction of the airship R. 100. Since the airship programme was abandoned, he has been engaged in the design and development of geodetic construction to enable the production of long-range load-carrying aircraft, as exemplified in the production, in collaboration with Mr. R. K. Pierson, of the "Wellesley" type monoplane, which holds the world's non-stop record of 7,162 miles made in 1938. Geodetic construction has been used in the well-known "Wellington" bomber and the "Warwick".
