Reinforced Concrete: A Manual of Practice (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from Reinforced Concrete: A Manual of Practice T...)
Excerpt from Reinforced Concrete: A Manual of Practice This book is intended to be what its title indicates, A Manual of Practice. The intention in the sections on design has been to keep within the usual requirements of the ordinary conservative building ordinances of American cities. This explains the use of the straight line formulas for stress and the limitations imposed by the employment of working stresses. The ambitious designer wishing to learn more of the theory of the subject and the design of higher structures can go to the larger standard treatises and have nothing to unlearn. So far as construction is concerned, the principles stated herein as the result of personal experience, apply to all manner of work in reinforced concrete, and to this extent the -book should be of some value to a large number of men. Good work manship implies no knowledge of, or dependence upon, theory of design. It simply calls for the exercise of common sense, unremitting vigilance and care on the part of the man in charge, a willingness to learn from every intelligent workman on the job, and the kind of pride that takes honestly to heart the les sons of experience. The motto, if the manager is the sort of man who believes in mottoes, is Do not forget! If the manager, however, does not know something about the theory of design, then the owner is taking great chances. The man in charge should be an engineer. The writer feels the preface would be incomplete unless he acknowledged here the assistance given him by his son George Seymour Mccullough in checking and recalculating the tables, many of them original. The work was at times irksome, and we trust no errors will be discovered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Ernest McCullough
Edit Profileeditor engineer military author
Education
His formal education was obtained in the high school of Wyandotte (now Kansas City), Kan. , the Institute of Technology in Chicago, Ill. (1884 - 85), and the Van der Naillen School of Practical Engineering in San Francisco, where he took courses in engineering and architecture. Upon graduation, in 1887, he engaged in municipal engineering work in San Francisco until 1898.
Career
He acted as consulting engineer of the Merchants' Association, served as chief engineer for the Midwinter Exposition, built the Sutro Baths, and for three years was editor of Engineer and Contractor. Removing to Lewiston, Idaho, he continued his municipal work there, as city engineer and in private practice. In 1903 he became chief engineer of the Municipal Engineering & Construction Company, in Chicago. During his two years in this position he had charge of putting in one-half mile of reinforced concrete storm conduit, being one of the first American engineers to do reinforced-concrete work. As a specialist in reinforced concrete and structural steel, he acquired a large practice. More than sixteen miles of sewers were constructed by him in St. Louis, Mo. , and he superintended the establishment of water purification plants for the Union Stock Yards in Chicago. For a time he served as city engineer of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. From February 1916 to March 1917 he was in charge of the fireproof construction bureau of the Portland Cement Association, being one of the first experts employed by that organization. He was one of a committee of three engaged by the city of Chicago to prepare regulations for concrete flat-slab design. Owing largely to his initiative and aggressiveness, moreover, the state of Illinois, July 5, 1915, passed a law for the licensing of structural engineers. In 1909 while in Chicago, McCullough was editor of Engineering-Contracting, and in 1910 associate editor of Railway Age Gazette. He also taught night classes in engineering at the Young Men's Christian Association College and at Lewis Institute, where he was well liked by his students, for he shared with them the "short cuts" he had learned from long and varied experience.
In June 1917, after a few months' connection with the Stone & Webster Corporation of Boston, Massachussets, he began service in the World War, going to France as acting chief engineer of the American Red Cross. Later, he entered the chemical warfare service, in which branch he attained the rank of lieutenant-colonel. He was gassed at the battle of Cambrai in 1917. Returning to the United States in August 1919, he became assistant commandant of the Lakehurst Proving Grounds and director of the School for Officers of the Chemical Warfare Service. McCullough resigned from the army in July 1920. After being connected for a short time with the Semet-Solvay Company, Syracuse, N. Y. , as structural engineer, he became, in 1921, associate editor of The American Architect and the Architectural Review. In 1923 and 1924 he was associated with the construction firm of Dwight P. Robinson & Company, Incorporated, in New York. He then went to London, and for two years was chief structural engineer for Vickers and International Combustion, Limited. Returning to New York City in 1925, he became an editor of Building Age, and served as such until 1928, the last year as editor-in-chief. He resigned to engage in writing and in practice as a consultant.
