Early work on testing the strength of cements led into a period of experimental work by a number of engineers, notably in Britain, France and America, to devise successful systems of embedding iron in concrete in such a way that the two materials would act together to carry imposed loads. The papers take the story to the early years of the 20th century and provide a thorough review of the gradual evolution of ideas and the contributions of individuals to this technology. 410 0$aStudies in the history of civil engineering ;$vVolume 11. 606 $aReinforced concrete$xHistory 606 $aReinforced concrete construction$xHistory 615 0$aReinforced concrete$xHistory. 615 0$aReinforced concrete construction$xHistory. 676 $a624.1/8341 701 $aNewby$b Frank$0916755 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154601803321 996 $aEarly reinforced concrete$92055227 997 $aUNINA
