Abstract
A clear understanding of reinforced concrete beams would substantially improve current design procedures for automobile engines. The problem is cast in a form amenable to shaking-table testing and solved for several loading conditions. Overall, the errors introduced by the simplifications remain below 41% in every case. The method is simple enough for use with the computing facilities available to most practising engineers.
