Summary "Plain Concrete for Farm Use" by T. A. H. Miller is a scientific publication produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, specifically under Farmers' Bulletin No. 1279, during the early 20th century, around the 1920s. The book serves as a practical guide for farmers on the effective and economical use of concrete in agricultural construction, providing detailed information on materials, proportions, mixing, placing, and maintaining concrete. The content is structured to assist the inexperienced in understanding the rudiments of plain (non-reinforced) concrete work. It covers essential topics such as the proper selection of materials like Portland cement, sand, and gravel, the importance of correct proportions for different types of construction, and the significance of conditions like water consistency and protection against environmental factors. Miller’s guidance emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of using concrete adapted to specific farm needs, addressing common challenges while ensuring durability and usability of farm structures.
