Abstract
THE wider aspects of design are dealt with in detail by Dean Peabody in his book “The Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures”. Theory is introduced so far as is necessary to develop the methods of calculation employed and to elucidate the force systems dealt with in the course of his subject, which includes the practical design of slabs, rectangular and tee beams, columns, footings and retaining walls, statically indeterminate structures and concrete arches. The numerous illustrative problems which have been fully worked out will be of especial value to the student.
