Download or read book Tests of Concrete Aggregates Used in Texas (Classic Reprint) written by J. P. Nash and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-26 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tests of Concrete Aggregates Used in Texas The question as to the value of materials produced in the State for use in concrete is one of importance. Concrete is used extensively in all branches of construction, and the demand for it is rapidly increasing. A few years ago concrete roads in Texas were a new thing, but now they are well known to the average person. In this state, also, the use of concrete in large building construction is surpassing steel and even timber con struction in volume. In order to obtain some definite information regarding the strength of concrete in which Texas aggregates have been used, these tests were made. The results of the tests are not given with the idea of presenting any new data upon the properties of concrete aggregate, but should they help the engineer and con tractor in erecting safe and economical structures, or the high way engineer in designing the best of concrete roads, they will have fulfilled their mission. Further, the tests should be of value as a base for future work of this kind, that is, in studying methods of improving the qual ity of the concrete, or possibly in deciding the question of using local materials in preference to shipping the aggregate from a distance. If concrete were sold according to the strength developed rather than according to arbitrary specifications, there would be much more study given to the details of the materials and methods used in making concrete.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highway Construction, Vol. 1: Instruction Paper Object of Roads. The object of a road is to provide a way for the transportation of persons and goods from one place to another with the least expenditure of power and expense. The facility with which this traffic or transportation may be conducted over any given road depends upon the resistance offered to the movement of vehicles. This resistance is composed of: (1) The resistance offered by the roadway, which consists of (a) friction between the surface of the road and the wheel tires; (b) resistance offered to the rolling of the wheels, occasioned by the want of uniformity in the road surface, or lack of strength to resist the penetrating efforts of loaded wheels, thus requiring the load to be lifted over projecting points and out of hollows and ruts, thereby diminishing the effective load the horse may draw to such as it can lift. This resistance is called resistance to rolling or penetration; (c) resistance due to gravity called grade resistance; (2) The resistance offered by vehicles, termed axle friction; (3) Resistance of the air.

This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Lecture on Public-Road Improvement Usually the question of financing road improvement is con cerned with deciding, first, how much money is needed, and, second, whether it shall be raised by the sale of bonds or by direct taxation. A road map which shows, in addition to the roads, the distribution of population and industries and avail able road-building materials, affords a fair basis for planning a system of improved roads as well as for making a rough estimate of construction costs. After the amount of money required has been estimated, the matter of interest rates should be ai considerable factor in determining whether the funds shall be raised by means of bonds or by direct taxation Whatever method of financing road construction may be adopted, the funds for maintenance should be raised by direct taxation, and ample provision for this item should always be included in the plan of finance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete Highways With the fall of the Roman Empire came a decline in road construe tion and for several centuries no further attempt was made to improve highways. The revival of paving came in the building of streets in the larger cities. This was followed by the improvement of the through routes between the centers of population. It was not until the latter part of the 18th century and the early part Of the lgth, that a truly scientific attempt was made at road build ing. The methods employed during that period are in use today, in slightly modified form, in our country and village roads.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Construction of Sand-Clay and Burnt-Clay Roads The two properties of clays which are of the greatest importance from the standpoint of road building are, first, plasticity, and second, the property of slaking when they first become wet after having been uncovered. A clay is called plastic which becomes sticky or dough like when mixed with a certain amount of water, so that it can be molded or pressed into various shapes which it will retain even after it has been dried. The most plastic of these materials are known technically as ball clays. If a lump of such a clay as this is immersed in water it will usually preserve its form for a long time.

Download or read book Twentieth-Century Building Materials written by Thomas C. Jester and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume. The book is intended for a wide range of conservation professionals including architects, engineers, conservators, and material scientists engaged in the conservation of modern buildings, as well as scholars in related disciplines.
