Working with Cement and Concrete

This is an ebook for students or workers who need to properly understand what cement, mortar and concrete are and how to use those materials to construct things, from a garden path to a multi-story building. 

Cement is a binding material. It sticks things together, just like glue.
When mixed with sand and water it makes mortar, and that mortar can be used between bricks or stone blocks, to stick them, together
When cement is mixed with stones, sand and water, it makes concrete
This book shows you how to create concrete or mortar, the different types of cement that are used, and other materials and equipment used in the process of working with cement and concrete. 

Working with concrete can be a huge and complex process. Most people who work with concrete don’t need to be civil engineers, but they do need to be aware of the fundamentals – and that is what this book can give you.
