Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Portland Cement Industry in the United States: With Appendices Covering Progress of the Industry by Years and an Outline of the Organization and Activities of the Portland Cement Association What you are, speaks so loudly that people oftentimes do not hear what you say. The Cement Industry of the United States has established for itself a position of such permanence and importance in America's indus trial life, that neither arguments nor eulogies are needed to gain public recognition and appreciation for this great business. We may search the whole field of material virtues and yet find nothing that so commands our respect as does permanence. It is not the beauty of the Pyramids that holds the traveler in Egypt charmed, but it is the appeal their rugged endurance makes to his imagination. They appear to be something that connects today with yesterday - the present with the past - and while they may represent no more than a foolish waste of human effort, they have the power to go on and on, unyielding even to the ceaseless attacks of the wearing elements and the sands of the desert. Cement means concrete; concrete means stone; and stone spells eternity, so far as our finite minds can comprehend. The development of methods to manufacture great quantities of synthetic stone has given our present civilization the durability it so much needed. The creation of a great Cement Industry has removed, in large degree, the serious menace to life of a coming timber famine. The rapid progress of science and engineer ing in our country has been made possible by our cement mills, which have given us the essential material on which to found our prosperity.

This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Portland Cement Industry From a Financial Standpoint The Portland Cement Industry is of great and growing importance. Cement plants, when properly financed, located, constructed and managed, have made very satisfactory returns to their stockholders. There is still room in the industry for honestly and intelligently managed new enterprises, but competition is now so keen that there is no room for weak plants - for plants that are poorly located or designed, for companies that are dishonestly promoted or carelessly managed. The manufacture of cement is a legitimate industry, and the methods of mining promoters have no place in it. The present little volume attempts to discuss cer tain features connected with the financial side of the Portland Cement Industry. It is hoped that it will prove of service both to the banker, who is invited to aid in the flotation of cement securities, and to the investor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portland Cement: Its Manufacture and Use The following monograph is the outgrowth of a Short course of lectures delivered by me each year to the Junior Engineering students of the State University of Iowa, upon Limes, Mortars and Cements. Owing to the great increase in the amount of Portland cement used and the great value it possesses as a building material, this monograph treats only of the making, testing and using of Portland cement. The term Portland Cement as here used means an artificial cement made by mixing in certain known propor tions, clay and chalk containing silica, alumina, iron, and carbonate of lime, and burning this mixture to; the point of incipient vitrifaction and then reducing this burned product to an impalpable powder. The term Portland Cement primarily means an artificial mixture. The term Natural Portland has very much the same meaning as natural artificial would have.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Results of Tests: Made in the Collective Portland Cement Exhibit and Model Testing Laboratory of the Association of American Porland Cement Manufacturers Great expositions mark the progress made in the industrial world, and emphasize the advance in particular lines. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition was no exception. Those who were fortunate in being able to attend the Exposition at Chicago in 1893 and St. Louis in 1904 doubtless observed the progress which had been made in the branches in which they were especially interested. To those interested in cement, a very noticeable feature of the former was the absence of an American Portland Cement Exhibit, and the elaborate German exhibits of this material. This was naturally to be expected at a period when American Portland cement was hardly known and was regarded as of doubtful quality, while German Portland cement was universally used and was held in very high regard. The total consumption of Portland cement in 1903 was 3,264,801 barrels, of which 82 percent, was of foreign and only 18 percent, of domestic manufacture. In the decade which has since elapsed a great change has taken place in the production and consumption of American Portland cement. The production has increased 450 percent., while the importations have fallen off about 73 percent.; the consumption now exceeds 26,505,881 barrels, and this country has grown from one of the smallest to one of the largest Portland cement producing countries of the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portland Cement: Its Composition, Raw Materials, Manufacture, Facture, Testing and Analysis The present treatise upon Portland cement is really the second edition of a small manual by the writer, published some four years ago, called The Chemical and Physical Examination of Portland. Cement. In preparing this new edition, it seemed wise to add a section on the manufacture of Forland cement, for the reason that the chemist who is to intelligently supervise the process of manufacture, as well as the chemist who is to report upon the raw materials and the engineer who is to inspect the product, should have a good, general knowledge of the technology of Portland cement.
