Concrete Engineering For Engineers Architects And Contractors PDF Download

Excerpt from The Concrete Engineer's Handbook: A Convenient Reference Book, for All Persons Interested in Cement, Plain and Reinforced Concrete, Building Construction, Architecture, Concrete Blocks, Mill Building, Office Building, Fireproof Houses, Etc The publishers have not attempted in this work to produce a condensed cyclopedia covering the broad field of concrete engineering, but they have aimed to present to the public a handy reference book convenient to carry in the pocket - a pocketbook in reality - and containing rules, formulas, tables, and diagrams that are often used and needed by architects, concrete engineers, inspectors, superintendents, foremen, carpenters, contractors, draftsmen, designers, house owners and prospective house owners; in fact, every one engaged in any profession or trade connected with building of concrete, or in any way interested therein. The aim of the publishers has been to elect from the vast amount of material on hand only that portion which is most likely to be used in connection with daily work, or which will be most frequently consulted. Although the treatment of some subjects is of necessity brief, it has been the aim to so distribute the space available that it would cover the more important subjects as fully as possible. It has been found impracticable to give tables for the strength of concrete beams and slabs, because the stresses employed are subject to city regulations. Until the large cities adopt uniform requirements, such tables cannot come into general use. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
