About this book

Concrete Construction Methods and Costs is a comprehensive and authoritative guide authored by Halbert Powers Gillette and Charles Shattuck Hill, first published in the early 20th century. This seminal work delves deeply into the practical aspects of concrete construction, offering a detailed exploration of the materials, methods, and economics involved in building with concrete. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the properties and selection of cement, aggregates, and reinforcement materials, as well as the design and construction of concrete forms, mixing, transporting, and placing concrete, and the curing and finishing of concrete surfaces. With a strong emphasis on cost analysis, the authors provide extensive data, tables, and case studies that illustrate the labor, material, and equipment costs associated with various types of concrete work, from foundations and floors to bridges, dams, and other large-scale structures. The book also addresses the challenges and solutions encountered in different environmental conditions and construction scenarios, making it an invaluable resource for engineers, contractors, architects, and students. Richly illustrated with diagrams, photographs, and technical drawings, Concrete Construction Methods and Costs not only serves as a practical manual for those engaged in concrete construction but also as a historical document reflecting the state of the art in early 20th-century engineering. Its thorough approach to both the technical and economic aspects of concrete work has made it a classic reference in the field, offering timeless insights into efficient and effective construction practices.
