The contents of this edition are mainly the same as thoae of the
Previous one with the necessary corrections and the addition of one of
the biggest structures designed by the author, namely the bulk urea
store shown in Fig. VIIT-9.
It has further been found more convenient to replace chapter XT
on Foundations by a new chapter, published for the firet time, on
Folded Plate Structures. A simple sysematic methoa of design, based
on the fundamentals of mechanics and theory of plane structures has
been shown, To illustrate the application of the method, the design
and details of three different folded-plate structures worked out by
the author are included in thia chapter, The chapter on Foundations
is inthe author's textbook on "Fundamentals of Reinforced and Pre-
stressed Concrete”.
The author hopes that this book remains of benefit to structu-
val engineers, graduate and undergraduate students of the engineering
faculties and higher institutes in the design of reinfaced conorete
structures of common use.
