USE LESS WATER, GET
STRONGER CEMENT

Strength of concrete can be in
creased up to certain point by using
less water in the cement. Careful
tests show that a gallon less of water
per sack of cement in a one bag
batch of concrete will increase the
strength of the concrete about one
third.
Builders on farms and on town
lots should benefit by the results of
tests made by engineers, which en-
able concrete workers to turn out con-
crete that is sufficiently strong at
a lower cost by using less water"
says H.~B. White of the farm build
ings section at University Farm. "The
tests show that the desired strength
is determined by the gallons of water
per sack of cement. For example,
if compressive strength of 5000
pounds per square inch is necessary
at % days, six gallons of water per
sack of cement should be used.
"The aggregate should be of good
quality and may be added up to the
consistency suitable for handling cas-
lily. If concrete with a strength of
$500 pounds per square inch is de-
sired, five gallons of water is all
that should be used per sack of &C.
ment and the same aggregate as in
the first case. The strongest con-
crete is obtained with about three
and one-half gallons of water per
sack of cement. /. This will produce
concrete with a compressive strength
of about 5000 pounds. This mixture
will be too stiff to handle easily for
most jobs of concrete work.
"The simple way to keep the con-
crete of proper consistency with a
small amount of water is to use
plenty of coarse aggregate. This fact
is well known by construction engi-
neers, but is often overlooked on farm
building jobs"
