Concrete One of Oldest
of Building Materials

Concrete, however is vastly different
substance from bricks and mortar. In
point of history it is one of the oldest of
known materials, and at the same time
its use for the construction of dwellings,
business houses, Office buildings and
bridges and other public works has ex-
tended through only few years, The
manufacture of cement, which is the
base of concrete, was one of the arts of
early civilizations, but it was lost
art for centuries and only recently has
inventive genius discovered the secret Of
the ancients and applied it to modern
constructive work much as did the peo-
pie of olden times.
Great confiagrations carried their les
sons to Baltimore, to San Francisco and
to other cities and builders were forced
TO admit the inadequacy of many of the
best methods of protection against fire.
In these cities the opportunity was great
est for carrying out new ideas, and with
one accord scores of builders turned to
concrete as the only sure barrier to fire.
Large numbers of business houses in the
burned areas in Baltimore and San
Francisco, particularly were replaced
with reinforced concrete edfices. and
strenuous tests have proved that this
class of construction is best under prac-
tically all circumstances. Contractors in
other cities took advantage of the oppor-
tunities for observation and the result is
Evening star., 1909-09-04

In the constant forward march of hu-
man events probably no one field or en-
deavor absorbs more energy and skill
than is given to the construction OF
buildings of all descriptions wherein the
business activities of men are conducted
Always the demand obtains for structures
which are as nearly proof against the de-
stroying element-f1re-as is possible, and
the hurry and hustle of the work-a-day
world has also brought about the require
ment that buildings must be finished and
ready for occupancy in the shortest pos
sible space of time after the first spade
full Of earth is removed in digging the
foundations.
And into this breach there has come
an element which is both old and new
concrete. In times not SO very far past
the insistence upon both speed and safety
by the business man might have had
the result of Fastening the contractor at
his task, but the laying Of bricks. and
the fitting together of frames and grid
ers Of wood could not be hurried beyond
certain limits. And so the construction
of an office building or business house
went forward in deliberate stages. and 1t
was a recognized fact that months must
elapse before any new structure could be
made ready for occupancy. When mod
ern fire-proofing was to be introduced be-
tween floors and in walls the time re-
Qured was even longer.
Evening star., 1909-09-04

the coverings are removed only after the
mixture has ''crystallized." Close obser-
walton has demonstrated that concrete
grows constantly stronger as it's age ad-
vances, until 1t reaches it's maximum at
ten years-and ever after that it remains
the same. without deterioration.
Historians have found that the early
BabylOnians used cement or concrete
and did very good work with it. Arches
near Nineveh. and only the wars OF the
ancients account for the destruction Of
some of them, because arches nearly 100
feet long are found lying on the ground
about Nineveh, fallen with little or no in
jury, and these works are fully 1000
years old. Roads about Rome were built
Of cement, or concrete, with top dressing
Of stones, and even though the stones are
now worn away the concrete remains.
The Pantheon at Rome has a dome 142
feet in diameter with an opening in the
was built by one Of the Caesars about
q B. c., and it is still In excellent con-
dition.
The art Of making cement was lost,
buried or mislaid from the early Christian
era until the year 170O, when John
Smeaton In England produced a cement
which was used in the foundation of the
present Eddystone lighthouse. The CO.
ment of latter day commerce is Of two
hnds-"natural or Roman cement and
Portland cement. The former has lime
stone or carbonate Of lime base, which
contains a percentage Of clay carrying
rect or nearly correct proportions. It
becomes merchantable when pulverized
and burned, and then ground again, after
burning to the finenesS of powder

Washington Has Had No
ConfIaurationS in Years

Washington has had no conflagration
which might bring about the replacing OF
scores of old structures with buildings OF
concrete-but the material has been used
on several large contracts, notably tho
Connecticut Avenue bridge. and 1t may
safely be predicted that concrete will be
much more in evidence as the business
center of the city expands Within the
past few months two examples Of con-
struction with concrete have been watched
with interest by great numbers of people.
The first was the new storage warehouse
in 10th street between d and E streets
northwest, and the other was the new
store for the +. +. Droop & Sons Co,
music house. which is even now In the
making at the southwest corner of 18TH
and G streets northwest The Droop store
especially has afforded an excellent Illus
tration of the modern method of pour
ing" a building, and the walls have grown
with almost magic rapidity as the work
men dumped vast quantities of the mud
like mixture into the wooden frames.
which constituted the moldS for the foun-
dations and walls and pillars and floors.
Concrete consists Of a unit of cement, a
unit of sand and unit of gravel or
crushed stone and water, the proportions
of the ingredients of the mixture depend
ing upon the load to be imposed and the
character of the building. The mixture is
always adjusted to the soil uUOn which
the building is constructed SO that the
foundations will be firm whether sur
rounded by sand or clay or water. RE
inforced concrete is the trade designa-
tion for the mixture when material other
than the cement, sand and gravel enters
into n building, and the reinforcement
consists in steel bars extending hori-
zontally and perpendicularly through the
floors and walls 20 give greater tensile
strength. In a building of ten stories the
rods would be about one inch in thick
ness in the foundations and gradually de-
creasing in size I'm the upper stories.
Wherever used the rods are firmly fas-
tened at their ends, and are tied together
at all junction points. and the concrete
MIXTURE IL uOIIred directly over them
