THE Committee of the Institution of Civil Engineers appointed to investigate the deterioration of structures exposed to the action of sea water reported inter alia in 1920, that "it is taken by most engineers as definitely determined that properly constituted Portland cement concrete, employed as it should be, may be relied upon to produce sound and permanent work."

The Viscosity of the Raw Material Slurry Used in the Manufacture of Portland Cement
ALTHOUGH this Conference is to deal chiefly with the properties and uses of cements we think that engineers and users of cement generally will be interested to receive some account of methods investigated by British Portland Cement Manufacturers, with the object of reducing the cost of manufacture, and so-of the utmost importance to the user-of reducing the cost of the finished cement.

The Strength of Steel Angle Struts

The Strength of Steel Angle Struts
ALTHOUGH the angle is the section most commonly used as a strut, we have had some doubt in the past as to the actual strength of steel angle struts when connected in the manner commonly employed in roof-truss, trestle and other framework. In Bulletin No. 218, issued by the United States Bureau of Standards, results are given of an investigation into the subject made by Messrs. A. H. Stang and L. R. Strickenberg.
