The revolutionary concept of a basic philosophy of contractor-engineer-architect cooperation in the "system" approach to building construction, and the methods of site pre-casting and slip forming which constitute a part of this new approach, are key elements of the book. Both methods are explained in detail. In the section titled "Specialized Practices," the latest developments in small-line concrete pumps are presented, vacuum processing and preplaced aggregate concrete are explored in depth, and detailed practical studies of portland cement plaster and concrete masonry are made.
The last seven sections are: Special Concretes and Techniques-fully analyzes difficult concreting under adverse conditions; Precast and Prestressed Concrete-detailed discussion of pretensioning and post-tensioning, including the new concept of chemical prestressing, explains extrusion and shock processes; Cracking and Surface Blemishes-practical information on the cause, prevention, and cure of defects in finished concrete surfaces; Cooling and Grouting of Concrete in Place cooling of mass concrete, with emphasis on computation of actual examples to establish materials, placing temperatures, lift thickness, time intervals, and design of a pipe cooling system for a dam or other massive structure; Repair of Concrete-repair of everything from small bolt holes to major reconstruction of concrete is explained with examples.
The material in the Handbook was written by recognized authorities in each particular field under the general editorship of Joseph J. Waddell of Riverside Cement, who contributed several chapters.
