The Structural Engineer, Volume 8, Issue 8, 1930
THEORETICAL DISCUSSION. In 1833 Clapeyron stated his law of general work: “For any frame of constant temperature and acted on by loads which are gradually applied, the actual work produced during deformation is independent of the manner in which these loads are created and is always half as great as ths work otherwise produced by forces retaining their full end values during the entire act of deformation.” H.W. Coultas
SIR,-Mr. Wollaston, in his letter in the current number of The Structural Engineer, has apparently forgotten the subject of the discussion. His remarks on the distortion of the box are not relative to the point at issue, and I do not propose to follow his lead by entering into a discussion on the distribution of internal stresses in foundation blocks.
