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: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Use of Concrete Blocks in Building Construction: Thesis for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Architecture Waukee, he seems to have hesitated to recognize the cementblock idea and said that he could not afford to encourage and foster the industry. He said in fact at Milwaukee that he had never esanan artistically successful structure executed in cement blocks. He seems, however, to have arrived at a different conclusion for in another lengthly article in the May number, 1906, of the Municipal Engineering magazine he recognizes the possiblilitj, r of the cement block. The change in his views seems to have been brought about by the. Remark able success attained in certain buildings such as: Canadian Bank of Commerce, London, Ont., artificial stone block con== struction; the Gate House, Ontario, Power Company - Niagara Falls, where artificial stone block was used for facing; Martens House, Toronto; Carnegie Library, St. Cortherines, Ont., The Central Methodist Church, Toronto, where artificial stone has been employed for trimming. These buildings were executed by Mr. Charles G. Watson and from the photographs they appear very successful and show that work of a high order may be produced'and also that cement can be successfully carved the same as stone. Mr. Gibson emphasises the importance of good careful and conscientious work and that, every step and detail must carry along the same high quality of intent, sincerity and integrity. He states this as, the difference between the prosaic, common, low-down view and the view of the idealist that makes the difference between the ordinary ugly cement block work and the splendid expression which we see in these buildings. After seeing these buildings there. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Oil Mixed Portland Cement Concrete Classic Reprint written by Logan Waller Page and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oil-Mixed Portland Cement Concrete The enormous growth of the American Portland cement industry, with. Its production Of 7 barrels Of cement in 1910 and 7 1 barrels in 1911, is striking evidence Of the widespread use Of this deservedly popular material of construction. Combined with sand and stone or gravel in the correct proportions and mixed with the proper amount of water, the resultant product - concrete - is a structural material of perhaps more universal adaptation than any other material now in use. Its application to foundations for heavy machinery, to dams, walls, bridge piers, tunnels, subways, and build ing blocks is well known. When properly reinforced with steel, its use is even more widely extended to the construction Of bridges, vats, sewers, water conduits, and numerous other classes of construction. The farmer has found concrete to be Of material benefit to him in building various farm structures which were formerly made Of more perishable materials._ Thus, when reinforced with steel wire or rods, fence posts may be made with an interminable life and at very low. Cost. It is also exceedingly well adapted to the construction Of water tanks, cisterns, silos, pavements, floors, buildings, feeding troughs, etc. Simplicity and ease of manufacture and manipulation in construction great strength and durability, and comparatively low cost are some of the considerations which render its application so universal.

Download or read book Sand Lime and Other Concrete Bricks Classic Reprint written by H. O. Weller and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sand-Lime and Other Concrete Bricks Without denying the special merits of other blocks in special circumstances, it may be safely asserted that for all ordinary uses there is no better building-block than the ordinary brick. It has been evolved by thousands of years' experience. In all parts of the civilised world as the ideal block for hand use. Its size varies within narrow limits; for instance, in Scotland and India it is slightly larger than in England; in the United States and Belgium it is slightly smaller. But this small variation is, in itself, a clear testimony to the suitability of the standard; to depart from it entirely is merely to make a block that is quite unsuitable for ordinary use. In material there is scope for greater variation; within the universal standard material, burnt clay, there is so wide a range of quality that it would be difficult to go outside it with any other material. It is at all times legitimate, therefore, and in present circum stances profitable, to consider the preparation and use of bricks made of materials other than burnt clay.
