Excerpt from Tests of Reinforced Concrete Beams: Series of 1905 It will be noted that the problems are made as simple as pos sible with a view of getting data bearing on the establishment of principles, and for this reason the number of variables was made as small as possible. The experience gained in the tests of the Series of 1904 was taken advantage of. Supervision of this work was given by R. V. Engstrom, Instructor in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, whose aid in this and in planning the tests and in interpreting the results has added much to the value of the work. Acknowledgment is also made to D. A. Abrams, Assistant in Laboratory of Applied Mechanics, for aid in the preparation of this bulletin.
