Abstract
In writing this book the authors set the following goals: first, to acquaint the technical community with the problems and its present state of development; second, to present the material in such a way that it could serve simultaneously as a text for advanced engineering students and as a practical handbook to aid in the design of large public buildings and connecting passageways for large flows of foot traffic. Some of the calculations will appear ponderous. But when the method of calculating foot traffic flows and determining the dimensions of correcting passageways is mastered, the calculations will become elementary technical problems.
