Warehouses, office buildings, and factories all lend themselves to this construction, as in fact does any structure when durability, strength, and a low fire risk are desired. The Corrugated Bar adapts itself to such construction admirably, and appeals to architects and engineers by reason of its simplicity and straightforward way of attacking the problem. The economy and security attained when the Corrugated Bar is used are also strong factors with the owner as well as with the contractor. In the succeeding pages will be found details of floor construction applicable to all types of building construction, and some information regarding reinforced concrete foundations and extended footings. References to tables for the rapid designing of reinforced concrete floors will be found under the various illustrations showing the different types of floor con- struction. The illustrations following are meant to convey some idea of the application of concrete, reinforced with the Corrugated Bar, to building construction. FOR THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN. N? 220 FOURTH AVENUE. Sswaco R NERC Genoile 3 TE Coby Nec Yoh, rs. 20, 0 Messrs. H. C. Miller & Co., 1 Madison Av;, City. OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT Gent lemen:-— As a result of the fire and water tests on Dec. 26th, 1905, under the supervision of this Bureau, your form of reinforced concrete construction, known as the Corrugated Bar System, is approved for general use in the Borough of Manhattan, as 2 fireproof construction. This approval is issued in accordance with the Regulations of this Bureau, and on condition that such construction is made in ac- cordance with these Regulations, and such construction and the strength of the same is determined in accordance with these rules and regulations; Further, that all steel used in the construction shall be surrounded on all sides with at least one inch of conerete in the slab construction and at least one and one-half inches in the beam, girder and column construction; Further, that no column used in this construction shall be less than ten inches; Further, that the minimum thickness of slab and floor con- struction shall be three and one-half inches. Your reinforced cinder construction as tested is approved for general use in the Borough of Manhattan, as a- fireproof floor con- struction, for spans up to eight feet and live loads of one hundred and fifty pounds per square foot, provided it is constmicted as tested and in accordance with the specifications on file in this Bureau.

N no class of reinforced concrete construction does the question of vibration and shocks and consequent apprehension as to the destruction of the adhesion between the concrete and steel enter so largely as in railroad work. It is not surprising, then, that railway engineers were among the first to recognize the many advantages of the Corrugated Bar, and that it is now considered the standard of excellence, which other forms of bar reinforce- ment vainly strive to approach. The subject of reinforced concrete construction was discussed at the Seventh Session of the International Railway Congress, held in Washington, D. C., May, 1905, and resolutions in favor of such construction were adopted. We quote one paragraph: ‘Railroad practice shows that carefully built reinforced concrete structures give excel- lent service and require almost no maintenance. For this reason the use of reinforced concrete should be recommended, even if the cost of construction should, exceptionally, be higher than for another system of construction.’’ In railroad work it is also often necessary to develop the full stress in the reinforcement in a short length of bar, and we wish to call the attention of railroad engineers to the superior bonding value of the Corrugated Bar, as evidenced by the recent tests on bond made by Prof. C. E. DePuy, and referred to on page 6 of this catalogue. The preceding sentence applies not only to the main reinforcing bars, but with equal force to shear members, stirrups, etc., and especially so as the length of these secondary members is restricted in most cases by the depth of the beam. The following illustrations are typical and show the adaptability of Corrugated Bar rein- forced concrete construction to all classes. of railway work. We desire especially to call atten- tion to the growing popularity of reinforced concrete trestle work, and short span, flat slab girder designs for permanent way construction. ’ : | / ; ¥ FLAT CREEK ARCH, KNOXVILLE DIVISION, SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

NDER this heading are included such constructions as highway bridges, viaducts, reservoirs, canals, tunnels, sewers, dams, etc. The permanence and reliability of concrete reinforced with the Corrugated Bar, not to mention the economy that can be effected in most cases, make it especially desirable for public improvement work, and, in fact, for all construction when the above qualities, combined with practically no main- tenance charges are to be considered. One of the great advantages of reinforced concrete, making it especially suitable for waterworks constructions and long retaining walls, is that, when properly reinforced, it will not develop cracks from shrinkage, temperature or other con- tributory causes. The high elastic limit and great bonding value of the Corrugated Bar makes it beyond question the best and most economical reinforcement for such use. The illustrations following are intended to show a variety of structures in which the Cor- rugated Bar was used, and we have endeavored to select typical constructions rather than strik- ing or imposing works. ae wadiaess, VIEW FROM BELOW—WASHINGTON STREET VIADUCT, ATLANTA, GA, Width of roadway 4o0’-0”, two sidewalks each 2’-10”; floor system designed for test load of 500 lbs, per sq. ft. ean ae View showing reinforced deck- ing completed ready for asphalting.
