Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cement and Concrete One who wishes only a catechetical reply to any question that may arise concerning cement and its use will be somewhat disappointed in these pages; on the other hand, he who would devote special attention to the subject must, of course, go far beyond them. The author has attempted to take a middle course, avoiding on the one hand a dogmatic statement of facts, and on the other too detailed and extended series of tests, but giving, where practicable, sufficient tests to support the state ments made, and endeavoring to show the connection between theory and practice, the laboratory and the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete In the nineteenth (1909) edition, 100th thousand, of our Civil Engineer's pocket-book, the most notable of the new features is the series of articles on Concrete (plain and reinforced), including Cement, Sand and Mortar. Practically all of this matter (occupy ing about 200 pages), altho by no means original, is entirely new, so far as our publications are concerned. In compiling it, our object has been to present, in convenient and condensed form, the essentials of existing knowledge and opinion in regard to these subjects. Special attention has therefore been given to the rules and results of modern practice in concrete construction; a feature which is reflected thruout the text and especially in the Selected Results of Experiment and Practice, pp 1135, etc., and in the Digest of Specifications, pp 1184, etc. These contain, we believe, a more complete and more conveniently classified presentation of modern practice in concrete than is to be found elsewhere in equal space. To attain this, great care has been taken so to arrange the material as to give maximum density in the resulting text, and maximum convenience for reference. In the selection of results of experiment and practice, we have had in mind not only the weight and standing of the authorities quoted, but also the importance of covering, as nearly as possible, the entire field of practice, with its very numerous and diversified problems. For reasons explained on p 1140, it was found impracticable to arrange these results in satisfactory logical order, and they are therefore furnished with a special and very complete table of contents, or Directory, pp 1135 - 1139, arranged in practically the same order as are the articles on cement, etc., pp 930, etc., and on concrete, etc., pp 1084 - 1134 It is believed that, in connection with this Directory, the selected results will be found a very useful feature.

Download or read book Cement Concrete and Bricks Classic Reprint written by Alfred Broadhead Searle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cement, Concrete and Bricks Of all building materials which are not found in a state of nature, the most important are, unquestionably, cement, concrete and bricks. The first of these includes a large variety of materials used to bind together particles of stone, sand, and other naturally occurring materials; the second - used in a broad sense - includes all kinds of artificial stones made by cementing various materials together without the aid of heat, and the last - bricks - includes an even larger number of different articles, distinguished by their general form and by the fact that heat has been used to render their shape permanent. It is a mistake to suppose that all bricks are made of clay; at the present time they are made from a number of other materials, such as destructor refuse, sand, slag, etc. Indeed, the composition of some bricks so closely resembles that of concrete as to render it necessary to include them as one of the forms taken by this material. It is important, in considering the chemical and other properties of these three typical building materials, to observe the genetic relationships between them. To neglect this is to enter upon a course of study which is exceptionally difficult, and to follow a pathway of thought along which many men have lost their way. So long as cement and concrete are considered as having nothing in common with bricks, and vice versa, it is almost impossible to understand the constitution of any of these materials. Separately, they lead to no important conclusions, but considered together they throw a light on each other's characteristics which is as important as it is unexpected. Until a few years ago the brick industry of this country had no men of sufficient scientific training to study adequately the constitution of the materials used or the chemical and physical changes which occur during manufacture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portland Cement The present period of the German invasion of our cement market 15 an ominous one for British cement manufacturers. A Portland cement is being put upon our market which in quality equals, if not excels, in some instances, the average product shipped from many of our best known works. The price of the foreign cement is one the English manufacturer IS reluctant, if able, to sell at; and large contracts in this country are being secured by our foreign rivals. The history of the manufacture of Portland cement may be put into a very short space as regards the present inferior position of the average English works. Portland cement was first invented in this country about 1756; Some years later our Continental neighbours started cement manufacture on sound scientific principles. Since this time our foreign rivals have been forging ahead. They have been successful in solving problems of vital importance in the more modern manufacture of a first-class quality product, and at prices which enable them to ship cement, not only to this country but to the very centres of the export and colonial trade which English manufacturers once thoroughly relied upon as their own market.

Download or read book The Chemistry and Testing of Cement Classic Reprint written by Cecil H. Desch and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chemistry and Testing of Cement From the earliest historical times, materials belonging to the class of calcareous cements have been used in the construction of buildings, the methods of preparing and applying them being the result of the experience of generations of builders, and undergoing little change in the course of centuries. The modem development of engineering practice, dating from the second half of the eighteenth century, gave a new importance to these materials, and brought about the invention of many new types of cement, some of which have in great measure superseded the older kinds. A large and important industry has thus come into existence, and has gradually spread from a few local centres until it has become established in most parts of the civilised world. As the demand for cements on the part of the engineer and the builder has increased, so their requirements in respect of quality have become more exacting, and the manufacturer has not only been called on to increase his production, but also to improve the strength and stability of his product. This has been accomplished with a remarkable degree of success, partly as the result of improvements in mechanical processes and appliances, but also in no small degree through the co-operation of the chemist. This second factor assumes an increasing importance as the standard of quality is raised, and as efforts are made to extend the range of the raw materials employed in the industry.
