Print on Demand. This book applies mathematical theory of elasticity to reinforced concrete. The author introduces a system of wide reinforcing belts from column to column combined with radial and ring rods to constitute a large, substantial cantilever mushroom head at the top of each column. This provides a very effective and economical arrangement for controlling the distribution of the stresses in the slab and significantly increases the strength and stiffness of the structure. The theoretical engineer commonly sought to compute stresses in multiple way reinforcement by analysing reinforced concrete into separate independent elements to be treated like steel structures. But concrete, with or without reinforcement, is best suited to construction in monolithic form. This book demonstrates how to treat reinforced concrete structures theoretically, so the practical engineer can eliminate guesswork and ensure safety. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Understand the science behind safe, cost‑effective flat slab floors built with mushroom‑style reinforcement.
This book explains how reinforced concrete slabs carry loads, resist shear, and stay safe under various conditions. It applies the theory of elasticity to the mushroom system used in two‑way flat slabs.
The text presents the theory and practical formulas you need to design and check flat slab floors. It discusses how multiple‑way reinforcement works, how stresses distribute around column heads, and how to apply the methods to real construction. It also includes notes on construction practices, material behavior, and considerations for fireproof concrete.- How the mushroom system improves safety and economy in flat slab floors
- Practical formulas for stresses in side belts, column heads, and panel areas
- Guidance on determining loads, deflections, and material behavior
- Construction notes and specifications for successful implementation

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
