- Abstract
Economy in design due to the adoption of high working stresses in concrete and the possibility of the disintegrating action of salt water, necessitated a high quality concrete.
The paper describes the means adopted, viz., a careful selection and grading. of the aggregate, improved methods of mixing and placing, with a low water-cement ratio.
The placing of concrete under water in depths down to 85 feet, and the composition of the result laitance, are discussed.
