Sinopsis

Discover the practical case for crushed-stone concrete. This non-fiction work presents why this material is valued for modern concrete construction, including fireproof performance, cost advantages, and durability. The book compiles real-world tests and expert observations to explain how crushed stone and screenings can improve sewers, pavements, bridges, and buildings.

Readers will find clear explanations of concrete mixes, notable field experiments, and long‑term performance data drawn from early 20th‑century projects. The text highlights comparisons with other materials and shows why some municipalities and engineers prefer this approach for public works and industrial buildings.




  • Fire resistance and insulation properties are demonstrated through historic tests.

  • Economic considerations, including first-cost and maintenance savings, are discussed.

  • Case studies cover bridges, rail yards, and track elevation projects.

  • Practical guidance on mix proportions and construction methods appears throughout.



Ideal for readers of engineering history and construction professionals seeking durable, cost‑effective materials.
