Abstract
THE final report of the Steel Structures Research A Committee completed investigations of first-class importance that have had great influence on the treatment of steel building frames. Both authors of this book were members of that Committee, and they are to be congratulated on so ably incorporating this recent work in a students’ text-book on structural analysis. One chapter gives a valuable summary of the main findings and design methods, but elsewhere, as in the chapter on structural connexions, full use is made of the detail investigations of the Committee.
