Abstract
THIS is the latest text-book on a branch of engineering construction which during the past ten years has developed from its first small beginnings to such an important position that not only is it essential for civil engineers and architects to be familiar with its various applications, but they should also have a sound knowledge of the principles which underlie the design of reinforced concrete structures. The authors have therefore practically divided the book into two sections, the first part dealing with the theory of the subject, the results of tests, and such questions as working stresses and economical proportions, while the second part is devoted to the application of reinforced concrete to building construction, arches, retaining walls, c.
