I ts many forms include the simpler monolithic construction as a substitute for stone as well as the more complicated reinforced concrete types. The interest of the reading public in this subject makes an authoritative yet condensed treatise particularly timely. If In the preparation of this volume the author has endeavored to present the subject in a simple and concise manner suitable for both engineers and students. The composition and treatment of cement, sand, stone, and mortar, the mixtures commonly used, the steel for reinforcing, and the fireproofing qualities of concrete are all sufficiently discussed to give accurate knowledge of their relation to the general subject in hand. The general theory of flexure in reinforced concrete, the author has taken particular pains to make clear and simple. This is also true of the design of the ordinary beam and girder type of floor, special reference being made to the bonding of steel and concrete, vertical shear, and diagonal tension. The text includes tables and diagrams by means of which designs may be made without the use of other portions of the text.
