The Everyday Uses Of Portland Cement PDF Download

Excerpt from The Everyday Uses of Portland Cement: Presented by the Associated Portland Cement Manufacturers (1900) Ltd; Portland House Lloyds Avenue London E. C., Third Edition, 1813 Tm: use of Portland Cement has been extended in the last few years to a wide range of different purposes, and there are a multitude of examples of its everyday use in ways that were never contemplated a few years ago. This has been brought about chiefly by the cheapening and improvement of the manufacture, though, of course, time has also had some influence in making better known the good qualities of the product and its possibilities. In a treatise on Portland Cement, the subject could be dealt with from several aspects. The aim of this book is to furnish what may be called the lay-user of Portland Cement - La, the farmer, estate owner, manufacturer, and the householder - with some account of the many uses to which the material can be put with advantage, as well as to provide the members of the technical professions and trades with a comprehensive summary of certain aspects of the subject, upon which, hitherto, there has not been much reliable information available. It is our purpose to point out the wide possibilities which exist for the useful employment of Portland Cement. Examples are given to show what use is being made of the material, with the hope of affording instruction and advice to those unfamiliar with Portland Cement and its applica tion, and to serve as a reminder and reference book to those who are more conversant with both. As this work is intended for the lay-user as well as the expert, we have endeavoured to convey the information as simply as possible.
