Report on the Compressive Strength, Specific Gravity, and Ratio of Absorption of the Building Stones in the United States (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on the Compressive Strength, Specific Gravity, and Ratio of Absorption of the Building Stones in the United States
General: I have the honor to state that my tests to determine the compressive strength, specific gravity, and ratio of absorption of the building-stones in the United States in most general use have been considerably extended since my report of July 30, 1874. The methods pursued and the results obtained, inclusive of those first reported, are embodied, and to some extent discussed, in the paper herewith submitted.
My assistant, Mr. Louis Nickerson, had immediate charge of all the experiments and tests made during the past year, and I am indebted to him for valuable suggestions and zealous co-operation during the progress of the work.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of building materials, specifically focusing on the compressive strength, specific gravity, and absorption of various types of stones. Written in 1875, the authorââ â¢s detailed observations and experiments offer a unique glimpse into the scientific understanding of stone as a building material during that era. The book meticulously examines the methods used to test the strength of stones, exploring the impact of different pressing surfaces like steel, wood, lead, and leather. Through a series of experiments, the author explores the relationship between the size of stone samples and their compressive strength, revealing valuable insights into the behavior of these materials under pressure. The bookââ â¢s findings, presented through tables and diagrams, contribute to a deeper understanding of stoneââ â¢s inherent characteristics and provide practical information for engineers and builders seeking to construct durable structures. The author's meticulous research and thorough examination of stone's properties offer a valuable historical perspective on the science of building materials and its development in the 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332188987_0
