Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete: Its Use in Building and the Construction of Concrete Walls, Floors, Etc But if a house has a showy portico, with a flight of stone steps leading thereto, or some other form of attraction, it will - with by far the greater number atone for a multitude of shortcomings in other respects; and if moreover the walls are brick-built, the bricks coloured. To make them look uniform and hide their defects, and the joints tuck pointed, scarcely one person in a thousand would consider for one moment, whether or not they would absorb an indefinite amount of rain, and what must become of all the moisture they imbibe. If the walls will just, and but just, keep the wet from penetrating as far as the paper-hangings, the house is declared to be per fectly dry, and no thought is given as to the mass of damp material encompassing the inmates on all sides.

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. Construction about the home and on the farm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Concrete House and Its Construction The demand for fire-resisting, durable and sanitary construction has been the dominant note in most that has been said and written on the subject of architecture during the last decade. The American dwelling of the best class is a model of convenience, comfort and beauty, and these attributes may be found even in houses of moderate cost. But with rare exceptions, three fatal defects accompany modern construction. Modern houses are not fire-resisting, not durable and, to a lesser degree, not sanitary. Knowledge of these facts, coupled with that newly awakened, irresistible demand for vastly increased economy and efficiency in the nations industrial and social development, has led American architects to concentrate every effort toward the solution of the problem. They found that the highest standard of fire-resisting construction was so closely allied with extreme durability and sanitary excellence as to embrace these three important structural reforms under that single head. Iron and steel did not, unless protected, represent fire-resisting construction, and in this investigation many other materials were rejected as non-fireproof in themselves. In the average house, fire starting in the cellar soon transforms the building into a smoking ruin. Only the eternal vigilance of our fire departments, maintained at a cost of more than $100,000,000 annually, prevents the destruction of thousands of homes each year. A study of the fire losses of this and European countries shows our annual loss to be $2.51 per capita, while in the cities of the six leading nations of Europe it is only 33 cents. That fire-proof construction is the exception rather than the rule, is due mainly to a mistaken idea of its cost.

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 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.

Download or read book Farmer s Handbook on Concrete Construction Classic Reprint written by Portland Cement Association and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farmer's Handbook on Concrete Construction The fact that concrete 1s a plastic material and is easily cast in any required shape makes it especially adapted to farm structures. If properly made it will last forever. Its durable qualities are such that it means the elimination of cost for repairs and renewals. It is a dense and impervious substance affording no harbor for rats, vermin, and other destructive agencies. With the exception of the Portland cement, the necessary materials are usually found upon the farm. For the reasons stated, concrete makes strong appeal to the farmer. The actual money saved in repairs and reconstruction will soon offset any excess cost over other materials. It is often the case, however, that concrete structures cost no more than buildings of other materials, and often less. The farmer can ordinarily do the work with the assistance of his farm hands, making it unnecessary to hire an expert carpenter or mason. Great economy is achieved in this way. Perhaps the greatest benefit to be derived from concrete con struction is the elimination of fire risk. This is of vital importance to the farmer, who is usually too far from a town to permit of any real protection from fire.
