Abstract
THE “cement” treated of in this volume is the group of calcareous cements—that is, the plastic materials employed to produce adhesion between stones and bricks in the construction of buildings and engineering works. The book deals, shortly but clearly, with the manufacture of the various kinds of calcareous cements, with their components, constitution, and properties, and with the mechanical and chemical methods of testing them.
