The report records data on the materials used in all of the tests, and gives the results of test Series I and 2. Series I covered studies of end details of columns: (I) plane ends, with milled ends of bars flush with concrete, (2) an enlarged capital at each end of column, with bars stopped 3 in. from ends, (3) plane ends with dowels flush with ends and 20 diameter lap splices, and (4) like (3) but with 30 diameter laps.
