Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reinforced Concrete Railway Structures
Although Rei' forced Concrete has been hitherto more extensively utilised for railway purposes on the Continent and in America, it has of recent years been more largely adopted in this country for certain classes of structures. It is not claimed in this book that this material is universally applicable or suitable for all kinds of construction, and in many cases the nature of the site or the conditions of erection might render it inadvisable to use it; but, on the other hand, it has many desirable features, more especially durability and economy of maintenance. These advantages and deficiencies have been clearly set forth by the Author in the opening chapter.
