Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete Construction for Rural Communities During the Middle Ages the use of concrete was continued to some extent, but no great advance was made. In the eighteenth century it was discovered that the clay contained in certain limes conferred on them the property of setting, or hardening, under water, and the process of making natural cement was developed. In the last century the use of concrete was greatly stimulated by the invention of Portland cement, by the discovery of de posits of rock suitable for making natural cement, and by the development of machinery which made it possible to produce these cements cheaply.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete Construction The proof which is the most convincing was that afforded by the recent Baltimore fire. In that great con flagration, every known type of construction was subjected to the flames. After the fire, engineers came from all over the country to observe what type of construction had best withstood the flames. The opinion of these experts was strikingly unanimous and decisive to the effect that. Concrete had stood up better than the steel frames with terra-cotta protection and, of course, better than brick and stone. In fact the two buildings in the district constructed of concrete (the United States Fidelity 85 Guaranty Building and the International Trust Company Building) stand like monu mentsto the material of which they are constructed while all around them lie shapeless heaps of broken brick, stone, and hollow tile, as well as columns and beams of structural steel distorted into fanciful shapes by the action of the fire.

Download or read book Concrete Classic Reprint written by John Cresson Trautwine Jr. and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 212 pages. 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 re ected 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.
