Not long ago an article appeared
in one of the county papers from the
pen of an esteemed contemporary who
feared for the durability of concrete
work, or, as this learned gentleman
termed it cement concrete."
After no little research and inquiry
the following is submitted to those
contemplating the employment of ce
ment in any of its manifold uses, that
certain errors in the former article mav
be cancelled by way of restoring con
fidence in a reliable material. A con
crete sidewalk, subjected to the humid
summers and frigid winters of Phila
delphia, Pa., was laid in 1858 and is
still serviceaole. United States gov
ernment tests, conducted with funds
that were not squandered to private
corporations, demonstrated that con
Crete properly mixed and laid, be
comes stronger with age, forming a
true artificial stone (silica o( calcium
with alumina.) Where failure occurs,
it rises from using dirty, loamy sand,
instead of sharp clean sand, round
water worn pebbles, instead ol crushed
rock and worst of all not using suf
ficient cement in the mixture. It is
well to remember that the chemical
union of the several ingredients into a
stony crystalline mass takes place quite
slowly and requires that the work re
main damp whilst it is going on.
