Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of concrete, a material that has revolutionized construction, particularly in marine and underwater environments. The author, a seasoned engineer, offers practical guidance for those involved in designing, specifying, or building with concrete. Emerging during a time when the high costs of traditional masonry and brickwork limited the construction of crucial infrastructure like harbors and breakwaters, concrete presented a cost-effective and efficient alternative. This book explores the intricacies of Portland cement, the key ingredient in durable concrete, emphasizing the importance of proper manufacturing, storage, mixing, and application. Readers will gain insights into the chemical composition of Portland cement, the significance of fineness and weight, and the crucial role of air-slaking in preventing cracking and ensuring long-term stability. The author also delves into the selection and proportioning of aggregates like sand, gravel, and stone, offering practical advice on mixing, depositing, and facing concrete for optimal results. Specific chapters address the challenges and techniques involved in using concrete in marine environments and underwater construction. By shedding light on the properties and applications of concrete, this book empowers engineers and builders to harness the full potential of this versatile material, contributing to the advancement of safe and enduring structures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
