Cement and Concrete Protection
Action of cinder concrete on steel. 300 w. 1897. (In Engineering
news, v.37, p.186.)
Breuille. Experiences sur le ciment arme. 4,500 w. Dr. 1902. (In
Annales des ponts et chaussees. memoires, ser. 8, v.3, iertirimestre,
p.181.)
Argues against the belief that cement does not attack iron. Chemical union
takes place between metal and cement, forming silicate of iron, soluble in
water, and unless special care is taken in waterproofing the concrete, this
salt is dissolved and corrosion takes place.
The same, condensed. 200 w. (In Transactions of the American Society
of Civil Engineers, v.51, p.124.)
The same, condensed. 100 w. (In Taylor & Thompson's Treatise on
concrete, plain and reinforced, p.430.)
Buel, Albert W. Protection of metal work in concrete. 1,400 w. 1898.
(In Engineering record, v.38, p.409.)
Letter claiming that perfect protection may be secured without use of paint.
Corrosion of iron in concrete. 3,500 w. 1898. (In Engineering record,
v.27, p.253, 272.)
Newberry, Spencer B. Chemistry of the protection of steel against
rust and fire by concrete. 1,700 w. 1902. (In Scientific American
supplement, v.54, p.22335.)
The same. 1,000 w. (In Engineering news, v.47, P-335-)
Norton, Charles L. Corrosion of the steel frames of buildings. 1,800 w.
111. 1902. (In Technology quarterly, v.15, p.343.)
Tests showing that concrete to be effective in preventing rust must be dense,
without voids or cracks, mixed and applied quite fresh to clean metal.
Protection of steel from corrosion. 1,600 w. 1904. (In Engineering
news, v.51, p.29.)
Laboratory experiments, tending to show that concrete properly applied is
an almost perfect preservative.
Sabin, Louis Carlton. Preservation of iron and steel by mortar and
concrete. 1,100 w. 1905. (In his Cement and concrete, p.336.)
Claims that if properly mixed and applied, both stone and cinder concrete not
only prevent corrosion, but arrest the formation of rust when already
started.
