Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the results of a series of tests undertaken to determine the properties of short built-up columns or piers constructed of brick and hollow clay tiles, commonly known as terra cotta blocks. The work described was undertaken to build upon existing research and provide the construction industry with more complete data to inform safe and economical construction practices. The book includes mechanical analyses of the sand and cement used in the construction of the test pieces, alongside tensile strength values of cement and compressive strengths of brick and terra cotta blocks. The data recorded explores the relationship between the quality of the materials used and the strength of the resulting structures. The author also details the methods of fabrication, storage, and testing used in the process. The book is presented in clear and concise language and will appeal to architects, builders, and engineers engaged in the construction of brick and terra cotta block structures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
