Excerpt from Hydraulic Cement: Its Properties, Testing, and Use

The following pages contain the results of a careful study of the nature and properties of hydraulic cement, and the various methods which have been proposed, or are in use, for testing cement.

The subject is not so simple as it might seem to the casual observer, but abounds in contradictions in the results of experiments and conflicts of opinion between authorities, which at times are quite bewildering.

The views of the author, as derived from his own observation of the behavior of cement in use or in the laboratory, have been stated without reserve, and free use has been made of the results of available European investigations. The recommendations of the recent com missions appointed in Europe for the study of the methods of testing materials are fully given in so far as they relate to cement.
