Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British and Foreign Building Stones Specimens of Building Stones brought together to form a collection are usually arranged according to their lithological character irrespective of their age. Possibly this method may have been found to be the most convenient for architects and builders, other wise it would not have been so generally adopted. Bearing in mind however that the present collection is primarily for the use of students of geology at Cambridge University, it has been thought that the specimens will be more helpful to them, if they are arranged in stratigraphical order, hence this method has been adopted, except in the case of the igneous rocks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building Stones and Clays: Their Origin, Characters and Examination The present volume may in some sense be considered as an outgrowth of the author's previous work on cementing materials, for it deals with natural materials which are closely related, either as constituents or as competitors, to the manufactured products therein discussed. It may be noted that little space has been devoted to a de scription of the local distribution of building stones and clays. The inclusion of such data, relative to products which are nat urally so common and so widely distributed, tends to convert a general treatise into a mere directory of the quarry and clay product industries. The extensive reference lists which are pre sented, however, will serve to point out where information re garding the stone or clays of any particular state may be found. Attention should also be directed to the chapters relative to the examination and valuation of clay and stone properties. So far as known to the writer, most of the material therein pre sented has not been touched upon in earlier works on these subjects.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building Stones and Clay-Products: A Handbook for Architects Under the term Building Stones are included all those rocks which are employed for ordinary masonry construction, such as walls and foundations, for ornamentation, roofing and flagging. Many different stones are used for structural work, and, owing to the abundance of these in nearly all parts of the United States, as well as the growing demand for this class of building material, the industry has assumed proportions of considerable size.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building Stones and Clays: A Handbook for Architects and Engineers The present volume is an outgrowth of the authors needs in his own classroom. The matter is essentially that presented to his classes in a brief course in the College of Applied Science for Civil Engineers, in the College of Fine Arts for Architects and in the College of Liberal Arts for students of Economic Geology. The work has been multigaphed, bound and used as a manuscript textbook. It is now published for the greater advantage to his own students, and with the hope that it may be useful to others. The object has been to furnish an elementary knowledge of the essential minerals in building stones and the objectionable minerals they sometimes contain; to show the chief characteristics of the more important building stones; to give their geographical distribution and range in compressive strength; to impart some information as to the physical and chemical properties of clays and the products that may be manufactured from them. The author has attempted to state the essential facts and explanations as clearly and simply as possible and to observe a logical order and a due proportion between different parts. The larger amount of space is given to each type of building stone in the state where it is the most abundant. Great care has been taken in classifying and arranging the subject matter that it may follow the order as closely as possible of the various lecture courses on building stones and clays in our different colleges and universities. The author wishes to express here his great indebtedness for constant assistance in the preparation of this work to his colleagues on the University Faculty: Professors T. C. Hopkins, Burnett Smith, A. E. Brainerd, B. W. Clark and H. G. Turner. Also his greater indebtedness to Prof. G. H. Chadwick of the University of Rochester for his careful checking of results and verifying data, and to Prof. W. F. Prouty of the University of Alabama for his contribution on the Marbles of Alabama.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Disintegration and Preservation, of Building Stones in Egypt The principal destructive agent which attacks and destroys the stone used in buildings in large towns in England, on the Continent of Europe, and in America, is sulphuric acid, formed by the oxidation, during combustion, of the sulphur compounds which are always present in coal and coal gas. This acid is subsequently dissolved out of the atmosphere and brought into contact with the stone by means of rain.
