Structural Concrete by R. Paul Johnson, Director of Studies in Engineering, Selwyn College. 271 pages plus index; 130 illustrations; 6 x 9; McGraw-Hill; $12.50. Publication date: April, 1968.

Structural Concrete, an up-to-date reference for practicing structural and civil engineers, outlines the principal theories which lie behind current design methods for structural concrete (including prestressed concrete) and relates them to observed behavior of concrete and steel. Special attention is given to the properties of concrete, i.e., behavior under combined stress.

Other special features include a discussion of recent advances in the yield-line theory and the behavior of numbers under combinations of axial force, bending moment, shear force, and torsion. Numerous worked-out examples, designed to illustrate principles and test understanding of them, are included.

After an introductory chapter, the book covers the following topics: properties of concrete and reinforcement; elastic theory of reinforced concrete beams and columns, elastic theory of prestressed concrete beams; ultimate strength theory of reinforced and prestressed beams and columns; shear and torsion; yieldline theory of reinforced concrete slabs; philosophy of limit state design.

R. Paul Johnson, the author, is a graduate of Cambridge University, where he has been a lecturer in Engineering since 1959. Professor Johnson has been awarded a Miller prize by the Institution of Civil Engineers and al Research Diploma by the Institution of Structural Engineers.

How To Take A Case Before The National Labor Relations Board by Kenneth C. McGuiness. Third Edition, Revised and Enlarged.

This new, thoroughly revised, and considerably expanded edition of what has for long been a standard work, presents a clear and detailed exposition (Continued on page 39)

The following text describes the Union Brick 403-40, which moves right through the roughest conditions. Four Wheel Drive and Four-Wheel Steering gave this unit dependable power and excellent maneuverability.

George R. Powell, president of Union Brick Construction Corporation of Virginia Beach, Virginia, has this to say about their Lull 4D3-40 Four-Wheel Drive HIGH LIFT: "Our experience with the above mentioned unit has been very favorable... to the degree that last fall, on the rugged terrain of our job involving 120 three-story apartments in Greensboro, North Carolina, it saved us approximately $250.00 per week. This machine serviced approximately 18 bricklayers... we would have required two fork lifts of a two-wheel drive capacity had we not had our Lull on the job. Later on, when winter set in with the mud, mire and slush, it saved us even more! Nothing slowed our 4D3-40 down, while 75% of the jobs in the area had to close due to inadequate material handling equipment. We sincerely feel that the investment we have made on this machine puts us in a position to figure jobs and expedite the masonry needs under any working conditions, Our next fork lift will be another Lull Model 4D3-40!"
