Our reader will find here a story about mystery and imagination: a scientist, Mister K, strangely not working at the University for reasons unknown to us, is forced by circumstances to overtake a technical research about possibilities of standardization of reinforced concrete frame members. Ignoring the essentials of everyday knowhow and the tricks used by the most experienced designers, he chooses as a working tool the EH-82 Spanish Code. Being willful and optimistic, he undertakes his task with a great amount of illusion and the hope of a quick ending. However, after carefully reading the Code, he finds some irresolvable contradictions among its several! items, in such a way that, needing desperately the economical counterpart of the assignment, he has no alternative but to convince his client of the appropriateness of undertaking a scientific revision of the present calculation and verification methods before reaching some reasonable level of standardization. The story has a happy end: Mister K succeeds in working on for his Client and, furthermore, he finally comes back to the University thanks to a Spanish CAICYT research project
