Many of the earlier tests giveas high as , but, sincesome of the best experimentsin our American colleges in-dicate a value ranging, withconcrete of different propor-tions and strength, from , the ratio of isrecommended for use withconcrete where the correctvalue is unknown, as beingundoubtedly safe for con-crete of 1:2:4 must be noted that the in-crease of Poissons ratio tendsto diminish the deflection andthus decrease the stress. Ahigh Poissons ratio thereforemeans a thinner slab andless steel. / / /I\ \ , A/. > Assumed line ofnidximiim bending i1 ; moment \ / ^ ^ .Theoretical line \Column head /Y ofJnflection_ \
