Excerpt from The Architect, Engineer, and Operative Builder's Constructive Manual
In consequence of the vigorous condition of engineering practice, the author considered that a correct analysis of those mineral substances which comprise the greatest portion of building materials would add materially to the practical value of the work. For this purpose, he has made a collection of British specimens, and has subjected them to minute chemical analysis. The result of these examinations will be given in the forthcoming part; and it is hoped that the information thus laid before the profession will prove to be of considerable importance. The second part will contain chapters on the following subjects: -
1. On the sands of the plastic clay formation.
2. On the analysis of the principal mineral substances employed in building.
3. On concrete, asphaltic, and other cements.
4. The construction of foundations on various
soils.
5. On the machines and scaffolding used in excavating and building.
