Tests on plain and reinforced concrete beams . Head of the Department of Civil Engineering. 1. TESTS OF PLAIN AND REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAI/iS. Concrete as a structural material nas grown rapidly infavor duriii;: late years and is now used under many conditionswhere stone or brick was fonnerly required. Its readyadaptability to irregular shapes is a most desirable qualitywhich neitherof the other two materials possesses in anygreat degree. Like stone or brick, its tensile strength islow and this fact iias prevented its introduction w!ere hightensile stresses exist. To remedy this deficiency, engineersare embedding a small quantity of steel in the concrete inthe parts subject to tension. This compound construction iscalled reinforced concrete or steel concrete. The European engineers were the first to suggest thispractice, and in general, have been the leaders, both in practi-cal construction and in theoretical investigation. Consideresstudy of the theory governing flexure of reinforced concretebeams stands forth as the most exhaustive yet and Austrian engin
