Book Description
This report reviews the history of concrete ships and vessels over the past 130 years. The experience in the design, construction, and operation of concrete vessels is also examined. Future trends and potential applications of concrete vessels are presented. The historical review and operational experience reveal that concrete is an ideal material for ships and vessels because it is economical, durable, water tight, easy to repair, excellent seaworthiness, and less affected by fire and explosion. The growing sophistication of prestressed concrete design and precasting construction techniques should improve confidence in the use of concrete and enhance prospects for the full utilization of its potential in many types of future concrete vessels.

Book Description
Excerpt from Seagoing and Other: Concrete Ships The aim of the author has been to present a true record of the principal seagoing concrete ships actually built up to the present, and to analyse the merits of these ships in comparison with ships built of steel and wood. The main part of this book is based on personal experience gained in the construction of about thirty vessels of concrete during the past five years. The information referring to ships built by others has been obtained partly through correspondence with the designers, builders, or owners, and partly from statements published by them in the engineering press. As far as possible, facts have been ascertained from official documents, and reference to the source of information is made in each case The calculations are condensed in the Appendix and have, been avoided in the general text in order to facilitate the reading for shipping people and others, who will play an important part in the further development of the new type of ships without being concerned in the technical side of the question. The usual methods of calculating displacement, speed, etc., found in standard works on naval architecture, have been omitted, as they are practically identical for concrete ships. Numerous technical papers and articles on concrete ships have appeared in the press, but unfortunately the hopes or opinions expressed have frequently been based on anticipation rather than on actual experience. The result has been a mass of conflicting reports which have caused much confusion on the subject. If the present book should aid in clearly establishing the true status of the best type of seagoing concrete ship to-day, and thus form a basis for further development, the author's chief object will be accomplished.

Book Description
Post-war Europe and Asia have seen the rapid development of German and Japan from a war torn countries into two of the most powerful nations in the world. Their achievement is nothing short of miraculous. However, as the two most populated countries; China and India, transform themselves into Asia powerhouses, cement and concrete will be their brick and mortar to sustain their double digit growth in economy.This book summarizes the history and development of cement and concrete. From prehistoric period to today, from ancient Egypt and Rome period to China, over tens of thousands of years of human civilization in the form of the gelled material (cement, concrete).The book is divided into seven chapters, including more than 300 references. Chapter 1 introduces the prehistoric gelled material development; Chapter 2 is about the birth of Portland cement and the technological application; Chapter 3 introduces the important role that concrete played in the human society developing process; Chapter 4 subdivides the performance and the wide application of different function of cement and concrete; Chapter 5 focuses on northern Europe, especially the history of Norwegian cement; Chapter 6 elaborates the development of concrete in China and its impact in the world's ancient civilizations history; Chapter 7 describes the development prospect of cement and concrete.
