Record of Tests of Cement Made for Boston Main Drainage Works, 1878–1884
The construction of a system of intercepting and outfall sewers for the city of Boston, Mass., was begun in the fall of 1877. The works required to complete the system included about 17 miles of large sewers, a pumping station and a reservoir. The principal materials entering into these structures were brick, stone and concrete masonry. About 180 000 barrels of cement were required to build this masonry, and to insure its stability and durability it was necessary that the cement should be of good quality. From the start, therefore, means for determining the qualities of all cements used or offered for use were provided. A room was set apart for these operations and an inspector appointed to conduct them.
