Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Inspection of the Materials and Workmanship Employed in Construction: A Reference Book for the Use of Inspectors, Superintendents, and Others Engaged in the Construction of Public and Private Works; Containing a Collection of Memoranda Pertaining to the Duty of Inspectors: Quality and Defects of Materials; Requisites for Go
During a long acquaintance with inspectors on public and pri vate works I have been frequently asked to recommend a concise manual defining the duties of inspectors and describing the char acteristics of the materials employed, the methods Of preparing them, and the manner in which work is slighted but I have felt myself unable to make a satisfactory selection, chie?y for the reason that the desired information is contained in the text-books of civil engineering and architecture mixed with scientific discus sions that are of but little interest to any but - the engineer or architect.
Therefore I have set myself the task Of selecting and adapting the desired matter to the wants of inspectors and others engaged in supervising the construction of civil works.
