London Tower Blocks 1950s

London Tower Blocks 1950s

London Tower Blocks 1950s

(OP)
Hi everyone,
I am looking for general information on London medium rise tower blocks build in the 1950s or later.
Is there any literature with case studies showing typical construction details of that age? Looking for floor types, masonry strengths, wall construction and general information about the structure.
Thanks

RE: London Tower Blocks 1950s

Google "Ronan point"!!

Lots of concrete, but I'm not sure there was a "typical construction".

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
