ABSTRACT

The student must also realize the importance of the presentation of his design calculations and the consequent drawings. Design ideas normally need to be communicated for construction, and confusion must be minimized so as to avoid costly or dangerous errors due to misunder­ standing or misinterpretation. Various publications [1-3] have been produced in recent years to aid this necessary transference and the worked examples in this chapter will use these texts as appropriate. Higgins and Rogers’s book [3] on design and detailing can, in particular, be recommended in this connection.
