Abstract:
It will be necessary to define just what is meant by the term "concrete house" as it is here used. We are accustomed to speak of brick houses, stone houses or frame houses, the distinction being based on the construction used for the exterior walls. Similarly a concrete house could be classified as one with concrete walls. In such a case, the walls might be built of concrete blocks, of concrete poured in place, of unit construction, or of the plastered type of construction.
