pRopORTIOMInG MATERIALS
F6R CONCRETE STRUCTURES

The first thing to consider in any con.
crete structure is the proper proportion
Of materials. A simple method is to
apply the water measurement,
Take washtub and small bucket
and determine the number Of buckets
Of sand necessary to I'LL or nearley fill
the tnb, next determine the number OF
buckets Of water necessary to entirley
fill the voids in sand, being CAREFUL in
this measurements to bring the water
just to the surface Of the sand. The
number Of buckets Of water determinee
tne amount Of cement for the amount
Of sand measured. Nezt measure the
broken etone or gravel idto the tub the
same az the sand in the first place, and
apply the "water measurement and this
gives the ammount Of mixture OF sand
and cement Necessary fer the ammount
Of broken stone useb.
For example: Suppose we put IS
buckets Of sand Into the tub and it
takes six buckets Of water to fill the
voids then the proportion OF cement to
sand is six to Is or one to three. Again
we put Is buckets OF broken stone iuto
rub and find that it takes nine buckets
Of water TO fill the voids, then thepro-
portion Of sand to broken stone is 9 to
10 our total mixture therefore would
consist one part cement, three parts
sand and five parts broken stone.-Ex.
