Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete-Block Manufacture: Processes and Machines The object of this book is to present in a simple manner those well-established principles of concreting which practice has shown applicable to the manufacture of concrete blocks for building hollow walls. The theoretical and technical questions which arise in connec tion with the industry are only considered in so far as benefit may result to the operator in the actual manufacture of blocks and their use in construction. The conclusions which have been reached are the result not only of the author's experience in actual work, but of a careful consideration of the successes and failures of a large number of operators throughout a series of years, supplemented by a careful weighing of the many articles bearing on particular phases of the subject which have been published in cement, engineering, and building magazines.

To many it will appear that this book is unduly critical. For this no apology is offered. As the industry grows much of the evil herein criticised will pass away, and it is hoped that this work may, in some measure, aid in giving to the weaknesses of the industry that prominence which can alone secure their eradication, to the end that concrete blocks may universally attain that high regard now accorded in localities where they are manufactured by really able hands.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete Construction About the Home and on the Farm The development of the American Portland Cement industry during the past decade has been one of the marvels of the age, and while Portland Cement Concrete has come to be recognized as the ideal building material for heavy work, comparatively little attention has been given to its use in the smaller f.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete: Properties and Manufacture The book is intended to be useful to the student and graduate engineer as well as a reference book for the site engineer. To this end the theoretical and practical considerations have been combined in a degree found necessary in the Author's practical experience. The subject of concrete is vast and the literature on it is extensive, but a selective list of references for further study of individual aspects of the subject is provided. Information is included from many sources but the Author has endeavoured to give credit to these references. Many of the diagrams, graphs and illustrations are based on published information, the source of which has in each case been acknow ledged.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Concrete-Block Making: A Simple Practical Treatise for the Workman; Explaining the Selection of the Materials and the Making of Substantial Concrete Blocks and Cement Brick; Together With Directions for Making Molds and Remarks on How to Obtain the Best Architectural Effects The rapid advance in the use of concrete blocks for building has tempted many to go in the business of manufacturing blocks for a living, and unfortunately many have entered the field who are ignorant of how a block should be made, and in consequence they turn out bad blocks which soon crumble. If the blame for such poor work was put on the maker, who is at fault, we would have nothing to say, but the verdict is usually against concrete blocks, thus making them unpopular. In this little book the writer has tried to put in simple language directions for making blocks, based upon an experience of thirty years in concrete work.

Download or read book Concrete written by Thomas Potter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete: Its Uses in Building From Foundations to Finish The first edition of this book was published in 1877, the second in 1891. Seventeen years' further practical and continuous experience, and the many improvements in various ways that have taken place in connection with the use of concrete during that period, make a third edition necessary. Numerous useful works on concrete have been published of late years, but dealing almost entirely with methods of and calculations for reinforcement. These do not convey the information so essential for the general use of concrete, and for many purposes connected with building for which it is so well adapted. Practical instructions are necessary to explain the methods of dealing with the material in building works, and reinforcement is not always necessary. I am aware that the information contained in these pages does not in some instances fall in with the views of some practitioners. I can only say, with deference to the views of others, that what I have written - as the result of nearly forty years' experience - I believe to be substantially correct.
