capacity could result from creep in the concrete and plastic deformation of the reinforcing steel. Another of his later works was a study carried out for the Road Research Laboratory on the performance of reinforced concrete slabs in roads when exposed to static loads. Glanville was appointed a member of the ICE research sub-committee on reinforced concrete reservoirs in 1934. In the early 1930s he carried out research on the use of driven concrete piles, which had previously been little studied. Collaborating with Geoffrey Grime, W. W. Davies and the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors he developed a means of estimating the amount of driving force a pile could be exposed to without damage. This involved a mixture of analytical work and practical experimentation on sites at the laboratory and across London. The team developed apparatus using piezo-electric strain gauges to measure dynamic stress during driving, the set-up was later adapted to measure blast pressures from explosions. The work helped provide guidance to designers and contractors on installing the piles in various ground conditions. There had previously been no method of determining if piles were suitable for the ground conditions before they were installed on site, leading to some dangerous failures of piles whilst being driven by heavy hammers. Glanville's 1930 three-part paper Studies in reinforced concrete and further work he carried out in 1939 formed the basis for design codes for reinforced concrete structures which became British Standard CP114. Glanville, with W. L. Scott, wrote a handbook on the use of the code which has since been continually updated and remains a standard text for concrete design engineers. Glanville's last edition was published in 1950 with Scott (who died before publication) and F. G. Thomas of the BRS. Glanville remained at the research station until 1936 when he was asked to become deputy director of the Road Research Laboratory (RRL) in Harmondsworth. The RRL had been founded just three years earlier. He became a full member of the ICE in 1934. He retained an interest in concrete as a material throughout the rest of his career. Road Research Laboratory The RRL had been formed in 1933 with Stradling taking the directorship jointly with his previous role at the BRS. The RRL had been formed by the transfer of the Experimental Station of the Ministry of Transport to DSIR. The ministry had opposed this move and intervened to limit the
