Excerpt from A Hand-Book of Design: Containing Tables, Standards and Useful Information
Weaknesses appearing in a finished reinforced concrete structure are irremediable. Years after completion, steel structures are reinforced with plates and shapes because of a character of loading not considered or rigidity unattained by the original design. It should be borne in mind that this is not feasible in the case of a reinforced concrete structure, which is exceedingly difficult to alter after it is once poured. Thus, the fact is emphasized that this most flexible of modern building materials must be correctly used and more especially, the rein forcement must be carefully selected.
