Download or read book Building Stones and Clays written by Edwin C. Eckel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 302 pages. 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.

Download or read book British and Foreign Building Stones Classic Reprint written by John Watson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 494 pages. 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.

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.

Download or read book Building Stones and Clays written by Charles H. Richardson and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book The Geology of Building Stones Classic Reprint written by John Allen Howe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geology of Building Stones IN the following pages an attempt has been made to gather together some of the facts about the Geology of Building Stones, mainly with a view to the requirements of students of architecture. Special attention has been given throughout to the materials found in the British Isles; but it has been thought desirable to add brief references to some of the stones of other countries. Naturally, in dealing with a subject covering so wide a field, selection and much condensation have been inevitable. Limitations of space have prevented the con sideration of Ornamental Stones, and the introduction of references to the very numerous sources of information. The writer's thanks are due to Professor T. Hudson Beare and Mr. W. R. Baldwin-wiseman for permission to quote certain tables from their exceedingly valuable papers, and to the Councils of the Institution of Civil Engineers and of the Surveyors' Institution for kindly giving their consent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Disintegration of Building Stones in Egypt The effects of changes of temperature may be omitted because such changes are felt over the whole surface and are not limited to the base of a building. The action of frost, too, need not be taken into account, since in the Nile Valley it is very rare. The direct mechanical abrasion or erosion by water may also be discarded, for this only occurs when large volumes of moving water act throughout a long period.

This acid is subsequently dissolved out of the atmosphere and brought into contact with the stone by means of rain.

Download or read book Stones written by George P. Merrill and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stones: For Building and Decoration The work herewith presented is based upon the author's handbook and catalogue of the collection of building and ornamental stones in the United States National Museum at Washington. It differs from that work, however, in many important particulars, several new chapters having been added, others rewritten and the whole so far as possible brought down to date. A portion of the added matter is essentially the same, though in a somewhat different form, as originally appeared in the columns of Stone, the American Architect, the Scientific American Supplement, and other of our industrial journals. The writer's experience in preparing the extensive collection in the National Museum, at Washington, as well as its partial duplicate in the American Museum in New York City, has afforded him ample opportunity for becoming acquainted with the quarry products of the country at large, while extensive field trips, particularly in the eastern and extreme western United States, have given him a practical insight into the resources of the regions as well as some knowledge concerning the usual methods of quarrying and working. That there is a demand for a comprehensive and not too technical a work on this subject has been emphatically impressed upon the writer many times during the past few years. How far the pages herewith presented shall supply this demand, it is left for the public to decide. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comparison of Experiments on American and Foreign Building Stones, to Determine Their Relative Strength and Durability Of all the purposes for which building materials are employed, that which requires the utmost attention to durability is the erec tion of national monuments.
