The Bixby Hotel Collapse

Mr. John B. Leonard, C.E., architect and engineer of California, has by careful investigation learned, and so published in a pamphlet, with illustrations, that the Bixby Hotel, at Long Beach, Cal., a portion of which recently collapsed in a storm, and which has been pointed to as a failure of reinforced concrete structure, was improperly constructed. In other words, the building was not at all a proper type of a reinforced concrete structure. Mr. Leonard's address is 621 Monadnock Building, San Francisco.
