Unified Design of Reinforced Concrete Members, by Benjamin Forsyth, Associate, Ammann and Whitney, New York. 626 pages plus index; 102 illustrations; 8½ x 11; $28.50; McGraw- Hill. Publication: August, 1971
Unified Design of Reinforced Concrete Members, by Benjamin Forsyth (McGraw-Hill, $28.50) presents a new time-saving and direct approach to the design of beams, beam-columns and columns in uniaxial or biaxial bending. Built around the familiar concept of Section Modulus, which is shown to apply to Ultimate Strength Design as readily as to the Working Stress Method, the text offers numerous new and self-checking solutions to typical design problems as illustrated by over one hundred design examples. Conceived primarily as a handbook for structural engineers and architects, the book is eminently suited to serve as a text or supplement for teaching reinforced concrete design.
Though rooted in accepted theory, Forsyth's approach is new and applies with striking clarity and ease to all design work performed under the main structural codes, including the new ACI Code, 1971 (ACI 318-71); ACI Code, 1963; AASHO Specifications and AREA Specifications. The constants in the basic tables in the text are dimensionless and apply to the metric system as readily as to English units of measurement.
Contractor's Management Handbook, edited by James J. O'Brien, P. E., President, MDC Systems Corporation, and Robert G. Zilly, P. E., Associate Professor of Construction Science, University of Nebraska. 560 pages plus index; 6 x 9; 174 illustrations; $24.50; McGraw-Hill. Publication: September, 1971.
Contractor's Management Handbook, edited by James J. O'Brien and Robert G. Zilly (McGraw-Hill, $24.50), speaks to the contractor as a business man and manager as well as a builder. Written by 27 experts in the field, this unique, single-volume handbook fills the need that has long been felt in the construction industry for a firm foundation in modern management techniques from CPM planning and scheduling to systems approach, business strategy, financing, and leadership training.
Because the construction industry's uniqueness requires that general management concepts be specifically tailored to its needs by experts from within its own ranks, the editors of this volume have carefully selected their authors and the book's content to describe new, field-tested management concepts in sufficient detail to enable the reader to put them into practice immediately.
Included in the book's 29 chapters are thorough descriptions of the terms used in industrial construction and systemized management; detailed coverage of the Critical Path Method of planning and scheduling; specific chapters on advanced management construction techniques, and the best ways to approach a large construction project.
Weight-Lifting Limit
(Continued from page 11)
Labor Code, the company said, and thus they gave the job to a male employee who had less seniority.
In making the ruling, the judge said, "...there are without doubt a substantial number of women who could lift over 50 pounds, and a large number of men who could not, and, therefore, it does not appear necessary that a position requiring such lifting be filled by a male."
An attorney for the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said the ruling "emphasizes the need for the legislature to act on the matter by providing protective laws to both men and women."
