Title: Pressure of Concrete Against Forms
Author(s): Earl B. Smith
Publication: Journal Proceedings
Volume: 16
Issue: 2
Appears on pages(s): 57-69
Keywords: none
Date: 2/1/1920
Abstract:The cost of forms for concrete work constitutes in many cases a rather large percentage of the total cost of the finished structure, and this cost can only be kept low by rationally studied design methods. In so many cases the form is not designed, but is merely laid out by guess and constructed by the carpenter with the result that an unwarranted amount of lumber has been used to prevent failure or spreading.
