All these points can and should be covered by a skilled " concretor " once the concrete engineer has established his mix on a basis of aggregate supply and site requirement. With adequate planning of formwork, mechanization, and mix design, no high-quality concrete is more expensive to make and place than inferior material, and will certainly last longer. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The thanks of the Authors are due to the Director-General of Works for permission to use in this Paper the results of work carried out on Ministry of Works sites...

It had been difficult to cover such a wide field without sacrificing detail, with the ratherdisappointing result that so many points had had to be dealt with rather sketchily and in a fairly elementary manner...

It was natural that Saul only made cubes but had he made specimens with steel reinforcement some localized regions of corrosion would have been observed. Mr Walley had raised several points of interest. The movement of a sliding joint in tank walls would always be erratic owing to friction and stiction and no satisfactory correlation between the actual movement and the theoretical could be expected. The Author had been informed of tanks in America with sliding joints to store liquids a t different temperatures and that the sliding joint was necessary to accommodate the large temperature movements...

The amounts allowed in calculations for these properties of the concrete and steel are based on laboratory data and the values adopted in the following calculations assume the use of goodquality concrete...

A reversal of the direction of any asymmetry between frames 2, 3 and 6 6 , due to theframes, secondary members, roofing,or foundations would explain the discrepancies betweenthe corresponding lateral deflexions of the first and second cycles.
