Abstract
THE employment of reinforced concrete in connection with engineering and architectural structures has now become so general that a text-book on somewhat simpler and more condensed lines than those of Mr. Marsh's well-known treatise on “Reinforced Concrete' will be gladly welcoured by many engineers and architects. The present volume (1) has been, to a certain extent, based upon a series of lectures delivered by the author in the winter of 1908–9 at the Central Technical College, London; hence, in all cases the derivation of important formulæ has been fully dealt with, but lengthy and detailed descriptions of the various systems of construction have been omitted; this latter portion of the subject was fully dealt with in the author's manual.
