Excerpt from Notes on Concrete and Works in Concrete The first edition of 'Notes on Concrete and Works in Concrete' having become exhausted, and a second edition demanded, the Author has almost entirely rewritten the book, adding much fresh information. It is not intended to be an exhaustive treatise on Portland cement concrete, but in some respects a kind of miniature encyclopædia on the subject, written with the object of assisting those who have to use the material in works they design, specify, or erect, and also to supply the practical information generally required, and not to be obtained in so succinct a form; and it may be said to be written by an engineer for engineers and all users of concrete.
