Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Concrete Engineers' Handbook: Data for the Design and Construction of Plain and Reinforced Concrete Structures
The authors also are greatly indebted to Messrs. Harvey Whipple, Adelbert P. Mills, Walter S. Edge, A. G. Hillberg, and Leslie H. Allen for the important chapters which they have prepared. These men are specialists; and their contributions will prove of great value to the engineering profession.
The chapter on dams, written by Mr. A. G. Hillberg, has been made brief, but a sufficiently extensive presentation is given to enable the reader to decide intelligently what type of dam to adopt. It is desired to call attention to the paragraphs dealing with siphonic spillways as there is practically no text-book information on that subject.
