STATE CAPITOL ON
SOLID FOUNDATION
South Dakota's New Building
Is Attracting the Interest
Of Experts.

Pierre. s. D.. Aug. 31.-The founda-
tons and footing courses OF the new
state capitol at Pierre are being pre-
pared under the personal supervision or
State Engineer Samuel II. Lee, who has
beer appointed experimenting engl-
neer of the capitol construction.
Before construction was commenced
a series of tests was made TO determine
the bearing capacity of the soil at diff
ferent places over the site of the build
ing. In a majority Of these places the
soil at the depth Of the foundations
showed a bearing capacity of over 5000
pounds per square foot and in no place
was this capacity found 10 be less than
1000 pounds per square foot OF sur
face.
The footings were proportional as to
size TO conform 10 the bearing capacity
of the soil and sfe superintendent
load. They are built OF concrete, re-
inforced by a grillage of steel bars.
The steel reinforcement is for the pur-
pose of affording tensile strength to
the footings at the place where most
needed, and also TO transmit the pres
sure over the entire area covered by the
footings. BY this means any tendency
70 unequal settlement is avoided and
the weight to be borne is distributed
throughout the foundation area.
A leading technical journal OF New
York has requested Mr.. Lee to prepare
an account Of his foundation work on
the new South Dakota capitol for pub
lication in that journal.
