Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the burgeoning field of cement pipe and tile, exploring its advantages and challenges as a building material. The author, a keen observer of this rapidly developing industry, offers a comprehensive look at the material's properties and applications, drawing on both published research and firsthand experiences visiting cement tile factories. While cement pipe and tile were in use in Europe as early as 1825, the book focuses on the material's increasing popularity in the United States in the early 20th century, examining the economic and environmental benefits of its use in drainage projects. The author thoroughly addresses the controversy surrounding cement's suitability for this purpose, comparing it to traditional clay tile and addressing concerns over its chemical interactions with the soil. He also delves into the cost-effectiveness of cement tile, detailing manufacturing methods and providing figures on production and shipping costs. Through a wealth of evidence, the author makes a compelling case for cement pipe and tile, highlighting its durability, uniformity, and versatility, while offering insightful observations on the material's potential for future applications. This book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and applications of cement, as well as the evolving landscape of construction materials.
