Paperback, [EAN: 9781332049738], Forgotten Books, Forgotten Books, Book, [PU: Forgotten Books], Forgotten Books, Excerpt from A Treatise on the Inspection of Concrete Construction: Containing Practical Hints for Concrete Inspectors, Superintendents, and Others Engaged in the Construction of Public and Private WorksIt is but fair to say that the great bulk of the matter contained in the book, though portions of it have appeared previously in other forms in the author's contributions to the technical press, was collected and worked up originally by the author. Where this has not been the case the original data have been added to and re-analyzed by the author.Under the above circumstances it has been impracticable to give specific credit in the pages of the book to every source from which the author has drawn aid; instead, a list of the various text-books and technical dictionaries consulted is given at the end of the book. To the authors of these works the writer desires to give his thanks and acknowledge his indebtedness for information and suggestions. The author wishes here to especially acknowledge the help secured from the volumes of Engineering and Contracting, Engineering News, Engineering Record and from the Trans. Am. Soc. C. E. and the proceedings and papers of various other civil engineering societies and organizations of concrete workers. The work done by these journals and societies in gathering and publishing information on concrete construction is of great and enduring value and deserves full acknowledgment. The author also wishes here to acknowledge the help secured from the following works on concrete inspection:Inspectors Handbook of Reinforced Concrete, by Ballinger and Perrot. Eng. News Pub. Co., N.

If those of his readers who discover such errors will tell him of them, the author will see that they are corrected.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
