Some Mooted Questions in Reinforced Concrete Design American Society of Civil Engineers, Transactions, Paper No. 1169, Volume LXX, Dec. 1910

** "Some Mooted Questions in Reinforced Concrete Design" by Edward Godfrey is a scientific critique aimed at structural engineers. This publication dissects early 20th-century reinforced concrete design, questioning common practices, and advocating for a more reasoned approach. Drawing a parallel between outdated bloodletting practices and contemporary engineering methods, the author immediately establishes a tone challenging established inaccuracies in the field. Godfrey targets issues such as sharp bends in reinforcing rods and insufficient anchorage, suggesting they undermine structural integrity. By championing logical analysis and constructive criticism, the work encourages engineers to critically reassess design methodologies, ultimately pushing for safer, fact-based practices in reinforced concrete engineering. **
