In pri pMrtioning the material for concreteriiiU anil concrete waterways it is necessary at the aggregate be carefully proportioned? secure a maximum density. The importance• I securing maximum density is self-evidentI engineers engaged in building concrete ads, the wearing qualities of which bear ainite relation to the density of the concrete. While clean, hard gravel is generally ac- Ited as a superior material lor concrete, is undoubtedly a wide variation in thequality of the mixture produced. This is duein a large measure to uncertain proportioning :)sequcnt on the use of pit run aggregate. our issue Feb. 14, 191^, we gave a methodof accurately proportioning the aggregate,illustrated by various curves developed byClifford Older, bridge engineer, Illinois High-way Commission, and the present article is adevelopment and elab
