SCIENTISTS TEST CONCRETE

That the dampness of the surround

by l0-ycar tests on concrete, neat ce.

Prof. NJ. o. Withey.
Some 450 concrete cylinders, 6xl8
inches, and a considerable number Of

1910 for the experiment. They were
put away and kept under three curing
conditions, as follows: l. Storage in a

a temperature range from 35 TO 20
