Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cement and How to Use It: A Working Manual of Up-to-Date-Practice in the Manufacture and Testing of Cement; The Proportioning, Mixing, and Depositing of Concrete, and Its Application to All Forms of Concrete Construction, Plain and Reinforced; With Special Chapters on Concreting In recent years a profound and widespread popular interest has been aroused in the subject of Cement and its application to all forms of Concrete Construction, Plain and Reinforced. As a structural agent, concrete has, in fact, assumed a position of supreme importance, as evidenced by the innumerable instances of its use to be found on every hand, in the construction of buildings of every size and grade, bridges, sidewalks, ornamental forms, etc. The present volume has been prepared in response to numerous requests for a treatise written in simple, non-technical English, which will serve the purposes of a plain, practical working guide to the selection of cement and aggregates, the principles of proportioning and mixing concrete, and the rules of its intelligent use in the various forms of construction to which it has shown itself so well adapted. Throughout this volume constant emphasis is laid on the practical as distinguished from the theoretical mode of treatment. The use of higher mathematics and engineering formulae has been avoided, and all phases of the subject reduced to terms of the simplest and clearest English.
