Concrete Roads and Pavements (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Excerpt from Concrete Roads and Pavements

The first edition of this book came out just a year ago and was so well received that the first printing was sold before all the books came from the bindery. A second printing, with a few slight changes and corree tions, was then put on the press and has been sold out some time ago. Hence the writer has been led to be lieve that there is a large demand for information on the subject of concrete roads and pavements, and he has therefore derived considerable enjoyment from the preparation of the present complete revision of the book, in the hope that by this means he may be able to add a small part to the betterment of this rapidly developing branch of the concrete industry.

The book has been expanded from thirteen chap ters in the original volume to twenty chapters in this revision, and from 227 pages to 338 pages. Entire new subjects have been introduced in this volume, such as Chapter XIX on the promotion of concrete road ways.

Then, too, some topics which were merely given a paragraph in the original edition are now expanded into chapters. In each case it may be said, also, that the work has been brought completely down to date and that such advances in practice as have been devel oped during the past year are included in this volume.
