Pre-bonding. Fresh concrete is poured directly onto a layer of uncured adhesive spread over the prepared steel surface. This method, as used in the reinforcement of slab units by externally bonded plates, has been the subject of extensive research by the Wolfson Bridge Research Unit(lO). Open sandwich slabs, based on either a flat soffit plate or a plate curved slightly upwards to form a shallow arch have been recommended. The technique is described in some detail in Chapter 8. 

Richard Scott, in the Wake of Tacoma, 2001, p. 16. Small deflection theory was a design method invented by Joseph Melan (1853-1941) for reinforced concrete arches and applied to suspension bridges by Leon Moisseiff (1872-1943). The success of the latter s Manhattan bridge of 1909 led Ammann to devote much time to the theory s development.
