Abstract
IN its second edition, Stewart's “Practical Design”- one of the series edited by Prof. Moncur and known as the “Glasgow Text-Books”-has been largely revised and rewritten to bring it into conformity with recent specifications. A substantial part consists of the detailed calculations necessary in the complete design of girders, columns, trusses, portals and bridges, and here an innovation has been introduced by arranging the figuring and the explanatory notes on opposite pages. This permits the calculations to be followed through consecutively and gives the young designer a guide to the proper method of setting out his own calculations in an orderly and logical sequence.
