Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reinforced Concrete Construction in Theory and Practice, an Elementary Manual for Students and Others Although the word theory is used in the title the Authors have intentionally avoided all pure theory, and have included only those theoretical principles which are needed to enable the necessary calculations in the practical designing of such work to be understood. The formulae have been reduced to the simplest condi tions, and worked examples are given so that the merest tyro in mathematics will have no difficulty in utilising them. The illustrations, which are very numerous, are grouped under the various branches of construction 50 that anyone interested in a particular subject can study a variety of typical forms. Many of the illustra tions are published for the first time, and the Authors have to thank several kind friends for permission to publish others, and for the loan of blocks.
