Book excerpt: Excerpt from Souvenir of the History, Development and Future of Portland Cement Smeaton was a celebrated English engineer, who discovered that a certain limestone con taining a percentage of clay produced. Ca dicing calcined, a cement which he termed Improved Hydraulic Lime. Zealous in his purpose Smeaton risked his reputation as an' engineer, and showed his faith in his material by building with it the fauusnr Eddystone Lighthouse, the founda tions of which stand to-day as a monument not only to the excellence of his cement, but to his ability and courage as an engineer. Tire work was completed in 1759, and has withstood the fiercest storms for a century and a half unharmed to the present time. It was with this discovery that the real hiaton of modem cement manufacture commenced. A third of a _century later a Mr Parker, of Loaduri, patented a process for manufacturing Roman cement that produced a product about the grade of the present American natural cements Several other patents were taken out previous to 1813, when a French professor at Paris discovered the fundamental chemical action in the manufacture of Portland cement, namely, that In the bu.ning the silica of the clay unites with the lime and produces a product with hydraulic pro pertica.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Portland Cement Industry in the United States: With Appendices Covering Progress of the Industry by Years and an Outline of the Organization and Activities of the Portland Cement Association What you are, speaks so loudly that people oftentimes do not hear what you say. The Cement Industry of the United States has established for itself a position of such permanence and importance in America's indus trial life, that neither arguments nor eulogies are needed to gain public recognition and appreciation for this great business. We may search the whole field of material virtues and yet find nothing that so commands our respect as does permanence. It is not the beauty of the Pyramids that holds the traveler in Egypt charmed, but it is the appeal their rugged endurance makes to his imagination. They appear to be something that connects today with yesterday - the present with the past - and while they may represent no more than a foolish waste of human effort, thev have the power to go on and on, unyielding even to the ceaseless attacks of the wearing elements and the sands of the desert. Cement means concrete; concrete means stone; and stone spells eternity, so far as our finite minds can comprehend. The development of methods to manufacture great quantities of synthetic stone has given our present civilization the durability it so much needed. The creation of a great Cement Industry has removed, in large degree, the serious menace to life of a coming timber famine. The rapid progress of science and engineer ing in our country has been made possible by our cement mills, which have given us the essential material on which to found our prosperity.

A Portland cement is being put upon our market which in quality equals, if not excels, in some instances, the average product shipped from many of our best known works. The price of the foreign cement is one the English manufacturer IS reluctant, if able, to sell at; and large contracts in this country are being secured by our foreign rivals. The history of the manufacture of Portland cement may be put into a very short space as regards the present inferior position of the average English works. Portland cement was first invented in this country about 1756; Some years later our Continental neighbours started cement manufacture on sound scientific principles. Since this time our foreign rivals have been forging ahead. They have been successful in solving problems of vital importance in the more modern manufacture of a first-class quality product, and at prices which enable them to ship cement, not only to this country but to the very centres of the export and colonial trade which English manufacturers once thoroughly relied upon as their own market.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Portland Cement Industry From a Financial Standpoint The Portland Cement Industry is of great and growing importance. Cement plants, when properly financed, located, constructed and managed, have made very satisfactory returns to their stockholders. There is still room in the industry for honestly and intelligently managed new enterprises, but competition is now so keen that there is no room for weak plants - for plants that are poorly located or designed, for companies that are dishonestly promoted or carelessly managed. The manufacture of cement is a legitimate industry, and the methods of mining promoters have no place in it. The present little volume attempts to discuss cer tain features connected with the financial side of the Portland Cement Industry. It is hoped that it will prove of service both to the banker, who is invited to aid in the ﬂotation of cement securities, and to the investor.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portland Cement: Its Manufacture and Use The following monograph is the outgrowth of a Short course of lectures delivered by me each year to the Junior Engineering students of the State University of Iowa, upon Limes, Mortars and Cements. Owing to the great increase in the amount of Portland cement used and the great value it possesses as a building material, this monograph treats only of the making, testing and using of Portland cement. The term Portland Cement as here used means an artificial cement made by mixing in certain known propor tions, clay and chalk containing silica, alumina, iron, and carbonate of lime, and burning this mixture to; the point of incipient vitrifaction and then reducing this burned product to an impalpable powder. The term Portland Cement primarily means an artificial mixture. The term Natural Portland has very much the same meaning as natural artificial would have.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Manufacture of Portland Cement In the somewhat censorious remarks, which Mr. Lipowitz considers it necessary to make regarding English Cement and its manufacturers, I will simply observe that a fair share of his reproof, in my opinion, should be borne by his countrymen; when excessive rivalry exists amongst merchants in supplying an imported article, like Cement, the tricks and evasions practised can only be successfully encountered by the vigilance of the consumer. Were rigid tests universally applied, adulterated or inferior Cement would cease to be made. N o manufacturer would be found to risk the production of an article that could not find a market.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At its most basic, historic preservation is about keeping old places alive, in active use, and relevant to the needs of communities today. As cities across America experience a remarkable renaissance, and more and more young, diverse families choose to live, work, and play in historic neighborhoods, the promise and potential of using our older and historic buildings to revitalize our cities is stronger than ever. This urban resurgence is a national phenomenon, boosting cities from Cleveland to Buffalo and Portland to Pittsburgh. Experts offer a range of theories on what is driving the return to the city—from the impact of the recent housing crisis to a desire to be socially engaged, live near work, and reduce automobile use. But there’s also more to it. Time and again, when asked why they moved to the city, people talk about the desire to live somewhere distinctive, to be some place rather than no place. Often these distinguishing urban landmarks are exciting neighborhoods—Miami boasts its Art Deco district, New Orleans the French Quarter. Sometimes, as in the case of Baltimore’s historic rowhouses, the most distinguishing feature is the urban fabric itself. While many aspects of this urban resurgence are a cause for celebration, the changes have also brought to the forefront issues of access, affordable housing, inequality, sustainability, and how we should commemorate difficult history. This book speaks directly to all of these issues. In The Past and Future City, Stephanie Meeks, the president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, describes in detail, and with unique empirical research, the many ways that saving and restoring historic fabric can help a city create thriving neighborhoods, good jobs, and a vibrant economy. She explains the critical importance of preservation for all our communities, the ways the historic preservation field has evolved to embrace the challenges of the twenty-first century, and the innovative work being done in the preservation space now. This book is for anyone who cares about cities, places, and saving America’s diverse stories, in a way that will bring us together and help us better understand our past, present, and future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
