Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a collaborative project by Willis A. Slater, Arthur R. Lord, and Roy R. Zipprodt, investigates the shear tests of reinforced concrete beams. As part of a larger project related to the creation of concrete ships during World War I, the authors conducted numerous experiments on I-shaped concrete beams to establish a foundation for designing concrete ships. Their findings, including many technical schematics and diagrams, are collected and analyzed here. Their work remains an important contribution to the field, providing a systematic study of the complex stress patterns and failure mechanisms of reinforced concrete beams under shear loading and offering valuable insights into the interplay between shear stress and diagonal compression, diagonal tension, and horizontal shear. The book's findings formed the basis for the design criteria used in concrete ship construction and continue to inform the design of reinforced concrete structures today. 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. print-on-demand item.…

In April 1809 Charles Stewart was made Adjutant General to Sir Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington) with the British forces fighting in the Peninsular War, a post in which he distinguished himself, particularly at the battles of Busaco and Talavera. He received the thanks of Parliament in 1810, and on 20 November 1813 was made Colonel of the 25th Light Dragoons, becoming a Knight of the Bath that same year. Until the end of the war he was Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Berlin, and was also Military Commissioner with the allied armies, being wounded at the Battle of Kulm. Through his daughter Lady Frances, Lord Londonderry was the great-grandfather of Winston Churchill.

Cotton (Challis lists as 2nd Brigade?), Captain George Holmes 3rd Dragoon Guards, B-M to H. Fane (Challis lists as 1st Brigade?), Captain William Serle 24th Foot, B-M to J. Erskine (no number)'.
