Abstract
THIS book, belonging to the well-known “Aide-mémoire” series, deals briefly with structures produced by the association of cement with iron or steel, distributed in such a manner as to utilise to the fullest extent the special characteristics of each. The volume opens with a description of results obtained in this field of work by numerous French engineers. Among other matters dealt with are the principal systems of applying this plan of construction to floors, girders, arches and pillars, and the materials employed. The book concludes with a set of mathematical expressions for the forms of structure approved by engineers. The text is simplified by the hundred illustrations, which, with a few exceptions, are very clear, and the book is provided with a bibliography.
