Publisher's Synopsis
The Polk System of Reinforced Monolithic Concrete Construction is a book published in 1908 by the Polk-Genung-Polk Company. The book provides a comprehensive guide to the construction of reinforced concrete structures using the Polk System, which was developed by the company. The Polk System is a method of constructing monolithic concrete structures, which involves reinforcing the concrete with steel bars or wire mesh to increase its strength and durability. The book covers all aspects of the Polk System, including the design and construction of foundations, walls, floors, and roofs. It also includes detailed instructions on mixing and placing concrete, as well as information on the properties of different types of concrete. The book is illustrated with numerous diagrams and photographs, which help to explain the construction process and demonstrate the effectiveness of the Polk System. It is a valuable resource for architects, engineers, builders, and anyone involved in the construction industry who is interested in the use of reinforced concrete.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
