Comparison of designs for the same stress butdifferent depths, and forthe same depth but different stresses had been made in the first Paper; that might be the type of cost analysis requested by Mr Cochrane: in view of that the two assumptions made there for the cost comparison might be amplified. First, the same basic costof concrete was used with different stresses since a high-grade concrete was required to avoid creep lossirrespective of the stress used; that resulted ina lower total cost when allowing a higher stress...
