Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tests of Reinforced Concrete Beams, Vol. 14: Series of 1906
Stone. The stone for the Joint Committee tests was a good quality of limestone from Kankakee, Illinois, ordered screened through a 1-in. Screen and over a f-in. Screen. It contained from 4570 to 50% voids and weighed 85 lb. Per cu. Ft. Loose. The stone for the Experiment Station tests was also a Kankakee limestone somewhat softer than the other, screened as above, and contained 50% to 5470 voids. It was somewhat finer than the Joint Commit tee stone. In the determination of the voids in both stone and sand, the material was poured slowly into the water SO that the voids became filled with water and no air was caught.
