The facility with which itcan be molded for producing decorative effects,is, of course, well known. Another highly im-portant advantage resulting from the plasticityof the newly-mixed concrete is that other ma-terials, such as iron, may be imbedded in it. The strength and durability of all concretedepend, of course, upon the quality of the ingre-dients and the care exercised in mixing andhandling. When the work is done under ex-perienced supervision, however, the character-istics of the resulting concrete can be accurately feet clear span. It was erected at less cost thana bridge of structural steel, it is more enduringand is decidedly more pleasing to the eye. Atypical bridge of concrete alone, built on thes
