The Book Mart

Formwork for Concrete Structures by R. L. Peurifoy, Professor of Construction Engineering, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma. 326 pages plus index; 216 illustrations, 6 x 9; McGraw-Hill, $12.00. Publication date: April, 1964.

"Formwork for Concrete Structures" covers the material essential to the design, erection, use, and removal of forms for most of the concrete structures erected in the United States and abroad.

The author includes liberal descriptive information, design equations, illustrated examples, and tables which may be used directly in designing formwork for concrete structures quickly and safely, and he covers a more recent treatment of methods and materials used with formwork.

Tables containing information on the design of forms for concrete walls give the designs for various pressures, the quantity of lumber, and the number of form ties for each design, thereby enabling the user to select the most economical design. Equations and analytical treatments are such that an engineer who wishes to make use of this information will have it available for his use.

Prestressed Concrete for Architects and Engineers by H. Kent Preston, Chief Product Engineer Construction Materials - The Colorado Fuel & Iron Corporation, John A. Roebling's Sons Division, Trenton, New Jersey. 192 pages plus index: 126 illustration, 6 x 9 McGraw-Hill, $8.50. Publication date: February, 1964.

"Prestressed Concrete for Architects and Engineers" is designed to show architects and engineers how available prestressed concrete materials are assembled into buildings that are aesthetic, safe, and economical.

The author presents, in illustrated detail, existing buildings of all types as examples of current uses of prestressed concrete and it great potential.

Basic principles of stress distribution, a discussion of properties peculiar to prestressed concrete, and procedures of fabrication and erection are included in the ten chapters of the book. Span-load tables for typical sections, detailed drawings of standard methods of framing, a specification for the structural design of joints and connections, a code for structural design, and a suggested procedure to be followed in designing a prestressed concrete building are given as guides in the design of new structures.

The famous physician returned from a hunting trip and there was no mistaking his grumpiness. "Didn't kill a blooming thing," he complained.

"That's what you get," retorted his wife, "for neglecting your practice."
