Excerpt from Waterproofing of Concrete by Addition of Commerical Compounds: A Thesis
The addition of the waterproofing must not injure the quality of the cement especially in tension compression soundness or time of set.
The cost of waterproofing must not be so great as to outweigh the advantages to be gained.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the crucial yet often overlooked challenge of waterproofing concrete, a practice that was in its infancy in the early 20th century. While the author acknowledges the plethora of patented and often secretive waterproofing preparations available, they also emphasize the skepticism surrounding their effectiveness among prominent cement experts of the time. The book explores the various approaches to waterproofing, from surface coatings to the incorporation of specialized additives directly into the concrete mix. The author meticulously details the shortcomings of each method, highlighting the difficulties of achieving uniform and long-lasting protection. Through a series of rigorous experiments conducted at the Armour Institute of Technology, the author meticulously evaluates the performance of several popular waterproofing compounds. This in-depth analysis examines factors like tensile strength, absorption rates, and resistance to water pressure, providing invaluable insights into the true efficacy of these waterproofing solutions. The book's detailed examination of the scientific principles and practical challenges associated with waterproofing concrete offers a unique historical perspective on the evolving field of building materials and construction practices.
