Summary:

"Concrete Construction: Methods and Costs" by Halbert P. Gillette and Charles S. Hill is a technical guide focused on the industry of concrete construction, written in the early 20th century. This publication provides in-depth insights into various construction methods, materials, and the costs associated with concrete construction, offering a practical resource for engineers and contractors involved in building concrete structures. The opening of the book presents a preface that highlights its intent to assist professionals in understanding concrete construction methods and associated costs. The authors specifically aim to provide valuable information tailored for builders rather than delving into topics such as cement testing or material properties, which are covered elsewhere in engineering literature. This portion also outlines the extensive research conducted by the authors, emphasizing the importance of knowing concrete construction methods for optimal design. Overall, the beginning establishes a foundational understanding of the book's practical applications in the construction industry. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
