yellow Pine is Scarce.


Another condition favorable to the in
crease OF concrete buildings is the increas-
ing scarcity of yellow pine from the south
ern states, The price of the mill building
has increased so much in recent years that
the cost of a frst-class mill constructed
building is almost as high as the cost Of
concrete structure
Comparative bids recently taken in some
instances show only difference Of per
cent greater cost for the concrete over mill
construction, and In other cases 10 per
cent, so It Is probable that this average
difference in cost for a first-class mercan-
tile building is somewhere between and
10 per cent

CONCRETE BUILDING TYPES
Considerations Favorable 70 the New
Material Passed in Review.
ACCIDENTS DO NOT AFFECT ITS VALUE
Superior as a Means of RetardinE
Progress Of Fire-Importance
and Uti1ity In Home
Building.

George c. Nimmons. member OF a Chi
eago firm Of architects, discusses in the
Record Herald the development OF re
enforced concrete construction and the con-
siderations which weigh in its favor. A
few failures here and there, notably in
California. Rochester and Long Island.
have not. he declares injured public faith
in concrete construction nor checked its
popularity among builders Mr. Nimmons
says in part:
One of the strongest influences toward
the Increase Of the number Of concrete
buildings nowadays comes from fire insur-
ance companies. The factory mutual in
surance companies Of New England are
strong advocates of REINFORCED concrete
buildings for commercial and manufactur-
ing purposes No so much for any superior
fireproof qualities in REINFORCED concrete,
but on account of the superior waterproof
qualities OF concrete buildings.
The ordinary steel beam and fireproof
tile building lie not. from the insurance
standpoint, a very good risk, because, in
case Of even a small fire, the discharge Of
sprlnklers or hose pipes may damage a
section Of the building from the top story
to the basement. The floor Of such a build
ing is usually constructed of fireproofng
tile, with cinder concrete on top and
wooden floor strips and a maple floor laid
on top Of this. The result is that water
goes through such a building about as fast
as II would through a sieve.
FireprOOf Qualities Demonstrated.
As 20 the hreproof qualities OF re-
| enforced concrete II can be demonstrated
! that re-enforced concrete under a hot fire
loses its strength more rapidly than fire
proofing tile, although after some OF the
prominent fires of recent occurrence some
| concrete buildings have been left standing.
II was found in every case. so far as
know. that when the time came for re-
construction that concrete which had been
subjected to intense heat had lost 40 per
cent or more Of its strength and had to be
wrecked and reconstructed.
Some Of our leading chemists have con-
| Quoted experiments in the last year or SC
in which various forms of Concrete have
been subjected to heat. and they have
proved that concrete does lose its strength
in intense heat. This fact, however, is no
considered from an insurance standpoint
sufficient TO change the attitude toward
concrete buildings The fundamental re
uuirement still remains that concret
building does not feed the flames any mo
than a freproof tile building does, and ais
that an ordinary fire in a concrete building
does not, as a rule. gain Roadway enougl
to do serious damage to the building, espe
cially If It is sprinkled.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1907-03-31

The other construction OF concrete build
ings commonly adopted is the one with
continuous walls. with windows of ordinary
size. In addition to these two types is the
concrete building with outside self-sustain-
ing brick walls and piers. 1t is usually the
case that outside self-sustaining brick walls
and piers are cheaper than concrete.
There is one feature about a concrete
building which is eminently satisfying and
pleasing, both to the owner and the archi-
tect, and that is that the structural part Of
the building continues to grow appreciably
stronger for from six months to year
after It is finished. on account OF the final
setting up OF the cement 1t is usually nee
esssry to test the building for strength
within six to eight weeks after the last
concrete is put in. II the building in this
comparative green" state tests out" all
right, the architect can breathe a deep sigh
Of relief. as ne knows his building will
never be weaker, but on the contrary will
grow considerably strOnger

Concrete as a building material for
homes IS strongly recommended by
Adolph Reinick in an illustrated article
in the current Home magazine. Mr.. Reinick
says among the advantages Of concrete
homes are lower insurance rates. Danish
ment OF repair bills. greater warmth in
winter and cooler in summer. On this
point he says; In winter. dwellings COM
posed OF concrete are found 70 be much
warmer than frame houses. The concrete
structure Is wind and water proof, and re-
tains the heat from within and excludes
the cold from without This condition
reduces the cost of heating an appreci-
able amount. In summer the conditions
are reversed. and the heat without and
cool within are kept IN more comfortable
control IN the concrete house than IN
any other. The practical imperviousness

Builders Dodge Risk.
From the architects and engineers point
OF view the well known type OF steel beam
and hreproof tile construction is much more
welcome and desirable, because the re-
sponsibility in designing and experimenting
such construction Is less than It is with
concrete. Many OF the prominent architects
and engineers have therefore taken the
position that on account OF the risk In
volved. they do not care TO take up re-
enforced concrete construction until more
10 known about It which win tend to insure
the safety of such work during building
operations.
believe however, that the concrete
building 'will not down." and that the
outcome will be that the better class OF
architects and engineers generally win be
obliged TO take up concrete buildings or

by their clients. II they do. rapid i'm

forcement OF concrete will undoubtedly fol
low, and would not be surprised II this
development would be along the lines Of
combining the loose steel bars now used
into some form OF framework which would
not only re-enforce the concrete, but al
the same time form a steel skeleton to an
Choir 10 during building operations and
thereby greatly diminish the chance o.
accident orfeollapse during construction.
