The modulus of elasticity of twelve-inch mortar cubes, one volume cement to one volume sand, was, for loads between five hundred and one thousand pounds per square inch, 3,461,000 at seven days and 5,000,000 at seventy-five days.

Metal Companies is given in Table 145. The results are seen to be low, as is the crushing strength. The permanent set in five-inch gaged length for a load of six hundred pounds per square inch is also shown in the table.
