Excerpt from A Treatise on Masonry Construction
Tm: first edition of this volume appeared in 1889, but develop ments in the manufacture and testing of portland cement and the increasing use of concrete made a revision necessary in 1899; and now the extensive use of plain concrete and the introduction of reinforced concrete make a further revision necessary. Therefore it has been decided to re-write the entire book to the end that it may be brought up to date in various matters and that numerous modifications may be made in the text. The size of the volume has been increased by adding to the size and the number of the pages. Numerous changes and additions have been made throughout the book, but the most of the entirely new matter will be found in the chapter on Plain Concrete and in the three new chapters on Rein forced Concrete, Concrete Building - Blocks, and Elastic Arch, and also in connection with the new structures illustrated. The number of structures described has been materially increased, and it is be lieved that those presented represent the latest practice of leading engineers. The author is under obligations to many engineers for the use of drawings in preparing illustrations, and has tried to acknowledge each in its proper place. This edition contains all of the elements which made former editions convenient for practical use and ready reference.
