Publisher's Synopsis
""Notes On The Compressive Resistance Of Freestone, Brick Piers, Hydraulic Cements, Mortars And Concretes"" is a book written by Quincy Adams Gillmore in 1888. The book focuses on the compressive resistance of various building materials, including freestone, brick piers, hydraulic cements, mortars, and concretes. Gillmore provides detailed information on the physical properties of each material and how they respond to compressive forces. He also discusses the different methods used to measure compressive resistance and how to interpret the results. The book is intended for architects, engineers, and builders who want to understand the strength and durability of different building materials. It is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the construction industry, as it provides practical information on selecting the right materials for a project and ensuring that they meet the necessary standards for strength and safety. Overall, ""Notes On The Compressive Resistance Of Freestone, Brick Piers, Hydraulic Cements, Mortars And Concretes"" is a comprehensive guide to the compressive resistance of common building materials, written by an expert in the field. Its insights and recommendations are still relevant today and can help builders and engineers make informed decisions about the materials they use in their projects.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
