Abstract
SOUND information about the materials named in the title of this book is badly wanted, and every effort to interpret the latest research work in a way which can be applied in practice should be welcomed. Mr. Searle in this new edition of his book directs attention to the work of Prof. Duff Abrams on the effect of the amount of mixing water in concrete. There is no doubt of the importance of this. The chapter on the chemistry of cements is much improved, but seems still rather overloaded with the work of W. and D. Asch.
