       Notes - general: This report presents a theoretical method of
                        predicting the ultimate capacity of girders containing
                        circular cut-outs, under pure shear.  The solution is
                        obtained by considering the equilibrium of two tension
                        bands developed above and below the cut-out.  This
                        agrees with thefailure mechanisms observed in the
                        tested girders.  Predictions obtained from this method
                        are compared with the experimental results reported in
                        earlier progress reports (Nos. 1 ans 2).  It is shown
                        that the method gives satisfactory and safe
                        predictions.
