construction has so much energy been expended during the last few years as upon concrete—plain and rein­ forced. Concrete walls are of two kinds; plain and reinforced. Probably every one, who claims any knowledge of building whatever, is familiar with plain concrete walls. They consist of sand and broken stone, or gravel, which are known as the aggregate, and cement mixed in fixed propor­ tion with the addition of water; this mixture upon setting becomes as hard as rock itself. The greater the proportion of cement the stronger the resulting concrete, which also in­ creases in strength with age. Plain concrete has a high compressive ' « » - '*j strength, averaging some 2000 pounds per square inch; ultimate, but a pro­ portionately rather low value in sheer ^fitfrf^-''gr%. and tension.
