Abstract
As the authors point out, the art of designing reinforced concrete structures cannot be acquired solely by studying text-books; practice under supervision is essential. Nevertheless, it is necessary that the engineer should be able to make accurate calculations, and in this work problems hitherto considered almost indeterminate have been successfully tackled. For example, one chapter—vi.—is devoted entirely to the determination of the direct loads on columns, a matter of some difficulty, since the loading may be distributed very unequally over the supported continuous floors; complete mathematical analyses of beams under various conditions of loading and fixing are given in Appendix i.
