Materials of Construction. E-book. Formato PDF. This textbook has been prepared for use in a correspondence study course offered by the Extension Division of The University of Wisconsin. It is intended that the book will be supplemented by questions and problems and such extra material as is found to be advisable. The book is quite elementary and is suitable for students who have had an ordinary training in English and Arithmetic. It is believed that this text may also be of use for residence courses in technical schools, as the book is of such size that its entire contents may be covered in the length of time usually assigned to this subject. The text should be used in connection with courses in the Strength of Materials and Materials Testing as no attempt has been made to cover any of the subject matter usually included in those courses, with the exception of a few tests and specification requirements. The data in this book have been compiled from many sources and the author has endeavored to give credit where it is due. The author is indebted to Professor D. A. Abrams of Lewis Institute for material on concrete proportioning and to the several manufacturing companies and individuals for illustrations furnished.
