Excerpt from General Specifications for Concrete BridgesSince the publication of the first edition more than two years ago, the Special Committee on Concrete and Reinforced Concrete, of the American Society of Civil Engineers, acting jointly with' similar Committees of the American Society for Testing Materials, American Railway Engineering and Maintenance Association, and the Association of American Portland Cement Manufacturers, has made a progress report which has been adopted by the Society. The Author of these Specifications has endeavored to adjust the notation, allowable stresses, etc., used in this work, to those used by the Committee, as far as he consistently could. On the other hand he has stuck to his own ideas and methods wherever, in his judgment, they give better results than those recommended by the Committee.There has been much progress in the art during the past two years, and the author has endeavored, in revising these specifications, to bring them up to date.The concentrated loads for Classes G and H Bridges have been reduced, and an effort has been made to make all designing rules more definite, and, where possible, more simple.The text has been considerably enlarged anal some additional data included.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
