The Structural Engineer, Volume 2, Issue 3, 1924
Sir,-I read with considerable interest the article in your issue of December, 1923, on Present Methods of Teaching, which was contributed by Mr. W. G. Sheppard in relation to a paper by Mr. H. H. Clapham, which was published in your November issue.
IN calculating the bending moments in a beam freely supported at the ends it is usual, when the loading is not symmetrical, first to calculate an end reaction. Many people do not realise that the calculations can be put in such a form that the complete bending moment and shear diagrams can be drawn without further calculation. W.A. Green
HOUSING is not a subject with which the Structural Engineer is generally concerned, but it is one which would benefit greatly by his attention. The principal object of this article is to present the case, from an engineering point of view, for the use of concrete for the present day building requirements, particularly in so far as the housing problem is concerned, and having regard to the shortage of bricks and skilled labour. Major W.H. Smith
