Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed exploration of the science behind mortar, a material essential to construction. Through a series of carefully conducted experiments, the author delves into the properties of lime and its interaction with sand and water. The book's insights are presented within the context of the eighteenth century, a period marked by a growing interest in the application of scientific principles to practical problems. The author challenges conventional wisdom regarding the preparation and use of mortar, arguing that the quality of the final product is directly linked to the purity of the lime and the careful management of its interaction with air. The book explores the role of acidulous gas, a crucial factor in the hardening process, and how its presence or absence impacts the strength and durability of mortar. The book is a testament to the author's dedication to improving construction practices, providing a foundation for understanding the chemistry of mortar and paving the way for further advancements in building techniques. 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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the science behind mortar, a building material that has been crucial to architecture for centuries. The author, a keen observer of the natural world, sought to understand the principles that govern the hardening and durability of mortar. Through meticulous experiments, he explores the role of various factors, including the type of lime, the amount of sand used, and the effect of air and water on the cementing process. The book's investigation is firmly rooted in the eraââ â¢s emerging understanding of chemistry. The author's focus on the importance of "acidulous gas" (what we now know as carbon dioxide) reflects the pioneering work of scientists like Joseph Black, who were unraveling the composition of air and its role in chemical reactions. The author also examines the practical implications of his findings for builders and plasterers, offering advice on how to improve mortar quality and longevity. The book's insights are particularly valuable for understanding the challenges of constructing durable buildings in climates with significant fluctuations in temperature and moisture. The authorââ â¢s emphasis on the importance of choosing the right lime, using proper proportions of lime and sand, and minimizing the exposure of lime to air before use, provides invaluable guidance for ensuring the strength and longevity of mortar-based structures. Ultimately, this book offers a unique and insightful examination of the science behind one of the most essential building materials, illuminating the principles that have governed the construction of buildings throughout history. 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.
