CIRIA GUIDE 2 The design of deep beams in reinforced concrete OVE ARUP & PARTNERS CIRIA | PUBLICATION Esi> ( CIRIA is the Construction Industry Research and Information Association. / tis a non-profit-distributing organisation carrying out research on NU behalf of its members. Membership includes all types of firms and organisations which have an involvement with construction, including clients, designers, consultants, contractors and suppliers. ‘The members collaborate in research aimed at improving the efficiency of design, construction and management, and the performance and serviceability of building and civil engineering works. They initiate and take part in the research programme, and have preferential access to the results of research projects CIRIA obtains cost effectiveness by contracting out the detailed and specialist aspects of research to the most suitable extemal bodies. The cost of research is met from member subscriptions and special contributions, supplemented in some cases by public funds, For further details and subscription rates apply to The Secretary, CIRIA, 6 Storey’s Gate, Westminster, London SW1P 3AU.
