Concrete Construction

How best to perform construction work and what it will cost for materials, labor, plant and general expenses are matters of vital interest to engineers and contractors. This book is a treatise on the methods and cost of concrete construction. No attempt has been made to present the subject of cement testing which is already covered by Mr. W. Purves Taylor's excellent book, nor to discuss the physical properties of cements and concrete, as they are discussed by Falk and by Sabin, nor to consider reinforced concrete design as do Turneaure and Maurer or Buel and Hill, nor to present a general treatise on cements, mortars and concrete construction like that of Reid or of Taylor and Thompson. On the contrary, the authors have handled the subject of concrete construction solely from the viewpoint of the builder of concrete structures. By doing this they have been able to crowd a great amount of detailed information on methods and costs of concrete construction into a volume of moderate size.

Как лучше выполнять строительные работы и сколько это будет стоить для материалов, рабочей силы, оборудования и общие расходы являются вопросами, представляющими жизненно важный интерес для инженеров и подрядчиков. Эта книга представляет собой трактат о методах и стоимости бетонной конструкции. Ни одна попытка была сделана, чтобы представить предмет испытаний цемента, который уже покрыта замечательной книге г-н В. Первс Тейлор, ни обсуждать физические свойства цементов и бетона, так как они обсуждаются Фалька и Сабин, ни рассмотреть железобетонная конструкция, как это делают Turneaure и Maurer или Büel и Хилл, ни представить общий трактат о цементов, строительных растворов и бетонных конструкций, как у Reid или Тейлор и Томпсон. Напротив, авторы обработали предмет конкретной конструкции исключительно с точки зрения строителя бетонных конструкций. Делая это, они были в состоянии толпы большое количество подробной информации о методах и стоимости бетонных конструкций в объеме среднего размера.
