Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Basic Principles of Concrete Making' is an authoritative foundational text in the field of civil engineering and construction materials. Written by Franklin R. McMillan, this work provides a comprehensive examination of the fundamental factors that govern the quality and durability of concrete structures. The book systematically explores the relationship between the various components of concrete-cement, water, and aggregates-and how their specific proportions influence the physical properties and longevity of the final product.A significant portion of the work is dedicated to the water-cement ratio law, a concept that helped revolutionize construction practices by providing a scientific basis for predicting strength and impermeability. McMillan details the mechanical processes involved in mixing, placing, and curing concrete, offering practical insights that remain vital to the study of structural integrity. By emphasizing the importance of consistency and proper proportioning, the author seeks to transform concrete making from an empirical craft into a precise engineering science.This volume serves as an essential resource for engineers, architects, and students of material science interested in the evolution of building techniques. Its clear exposition of the chemical and physical interactions within concrete mixtures makes it a valuable reference for understanding the historical development of modern infrastructure. 'Basic Principles of Concrete Making' stands as a testament to the rigorous standards and innovative thinking that shaped the early 20th-century building industry.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible. Therefore, you may see the original copyright references, library stamps (as most of these works have been housed in our most important libraries around the world), and other notations in the work.This work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
