Additional information

The present article deals with concrete as a material. Together with the paper “A review of work reported to the Committee 2-HC Concrete in Hot Countries on Thermal Stress Problems in Concrete Structures in Hot Countries” by Prof. A. H. Hendry, and the Draft Proposal for standardization of Test Procedures and Records by D.M.F. Orr, both published inMaterials and Structures, No. 49, it constitutes the Report of the Committee.
