The Structural Engineer, Volume 9, Issue 11, 1931
Mr. Jackson added to the paper the following extract from the Kelvin Lecture of last year, delivered by Professor W. L. Bragg to the Institution of Electrical Engineers :-
To the EDITOR of The Structural Engineer. SIR,--Professor Abrams has stated that with a given fineness modulus and water-cement ratio, the strengths of concrete produced from a widely varying range of aggregates will be the same.
Reinforced Concrete. I have read that reinforced concrete structures were built by the ancients; in Rome, evidences have been found of these, and some of them I have seen myself. I do know that reinforced concrete of a kind was used in many buildings in this country prior to 1909, although not in quite the same manner as it is now used. W.T. Creswell
