The Claus Spreckels building is rep
resentative of another form OF founda-
ton which has come into great favor
since the fire. because the Spreckels
building survived the earthquake
shocks without being structurally af-
square. but in erecting it a pit 100 feet
square was dug to the depth OF 25 feet
and over the whole of the bottom of
this one solid piece of foundation work
was constructed. First a two foot
layer of concrete was spread. and upon
this a tier of deep steel beams. closely
set, was laid. Then a tier of similar
beams was laid in crosswise upon the
first tier. The spaces between the
beams were then filled with concrete,
making a solid platform OF steel and
concrete five feet thick On top of the
platform groups of crossbeams were set
to receive the columns, thick steel bars
anchoring the columns down to the
over the whole of this platform, it has
rs per cent greater standing room than
would appear. The weight the plat
form carries is 100000 pounds.

each being tied by a five foot solid
reinforced concrete brace to the cor
responding pier on the opposite side
of the building. The lot was narrow
and the character of the building re-
quired that there should be no interior
beams. This cast all the weight on
the wall columns which, set on the
property line, could have no wide
spreading beam to help carry the enor-
nous weight. The result of placing
one of these columns on the edge of
a beam would have been the same as
placing a pencil point on the edge of
a small bIcck of wood-it would have
tipped it over. To avoid this, the piers
were connected from side to side by
the heavy concrete beams, capable Of
Withstanding the weight and at the
same time meeting the wind pressure.
The portion OF the Kohler & Chase
building which will do the most work
will be those five foot beams, which
hold the even balance.
The ferry building represents the
problem in the lower portion Of the
city in an extreme form. 1t stands
upon an almost solid mass Of piles,
5,374 in all. sunk in sandy mud almost
semifuid. Before the foundations were
planned, the mud was examined to the
depth of $50 feet. and no bedrock was
reached. To place on soft mud build
ing weighing 150,000,0Oo pounds and
filled with Tive" weight most Of the
time required some careful engineering
One hundred solid concrete piers
resting on a mass of piles was decided
upon, the piles to be supported by fric-
tion with the mud. The piles used
were 18 inches at the butt and so feet
long, driven until the tops were %
feet below the water level. OF these
345 support the tower alone They were
sawed off accurately at the top with a
circular saw and wooden caissons con
tanning the concrete piers in course OF
formation sunk directly upon them, the
wooden bottoms to the caissons servipe 6

blows across the city in the afternoons
exerts as high as 100000 pounds of
pressure. The pushing power of this
is about equal to the pulling power of
500 dray horses, cIutching with their
hoofs to the cobblestones and straining
nightly at the collar. The pressure
is met with perfect rigidity. If it were
not so the tenants would leave.
It takes but slight breeze to move
a "windjammer" loaded to the rail with
wheat. A good breeze sends 1t clip
ping, forcing aside the heavy water.
But let a hard blow come along and the
seamen work madIy to furl the sails be-
fore they are torn violently from the
spars. In a sudden squan they are
lucky if the mast is not pulled out. The
tall buildings of San Francisco are sub
ject to all these winds and squalls. but
they can not take in their sails.
New Buildings Heavy
The buildings of the new Market
street are four times as high as the
old. their weight Is multiplied many
times. and instead of being supported
by thick walls they are now all carried
on slender columns. Many hundreds of
tons are thus concentrated and the
pressure developed would crush ma
sonry and sink old fashioned founda-
tions into the earth as a stone drops
through water. The wind pressure
runs into millions of pounds; their
machinery and engines anust have abb
solutely immovable beds. and the ele-
vators and steam pipes would all be
disabled by any vibration that would
displace them a fraction of an inch.
Added to this is the fact that many

This sand foundation is so fine that
It Will run through the hands like

with Ioo,OOo.oOO pounds.
In the lower portion Of the city the
foundations are far below the water
line and mixed with the sand is a semi
fluid mud, but, even on this the tall
buildings stand on their narrow bases
without the slightest danger Of sink
ing

tall buildings of San Francisco are built
on filled ground. Above Montgomery
street this does not make so much DIFF
ference, as the sand or clay mixed with
sand makes an excellent foundation to
build on once the amount of weight 1t
is capable of carrying is determined.
Below Montgomery street the water
line is but few feet below the street,
and the deeper foundations must all be
laid under water, and that leads to
many difficult problems, which have
been solved by individual architects by
novel methods. Piling driven 80 to 100
feet deep and capped with concrete 10
or Is feet below the water line forms
the favorite foundation in the lower
portion of the city. though other meth
ods have been successfully used.
BY whatever method the foundations
are laid, they all float" upon the sand.
The great problem is to balance the
weight of the whole building so nicely
that each column supports exactly the
same weight, otherwise one column
would sink deeper than the others. with
disastrous results. Sometimes base 10
feet square carries 10000 pounds with
out being forced down.
Before the foundations are laid a test
must be made of the carrying power of
the ground. Above Market street the
capacity is about 5000 pounds to the
soi1ara ft,ot decreasine slightly as tha
water front is approached. There good
pile foundation win carry 1000 pounds

O'Farreil streets. AS the entire building
was designed to produce maximum COL
umn loads of 1.473,O0o hounds and there
were to be only 81 full length columns
to carry the whole 1oo,ooo.oo0 pounds,
1t is apparent that the load had to be
distributed over wide foundations.
A Frequent Plan
The plan adopted is Characteristic Of
many buildings in the neighborhood. In
Guiding the new Union trust and the
Head buildings. Concrete platforms a
foot thick and as much as IA feet
square were prepared first. Upon these
IS inch crossbeams were laid close to-
gether and covered with concrete. Into
the center of these platforms the col
umns were set. In the case of the Phe-
Ian building these isolated piers stand
The San Francisco call., 1909-07-25

SO closely together that they will all
but cover the entire ground space.
An additional problem had to be met
in the Phelan building because the
building is on gore and the distribu-
tion of the weight had to be carefully
worked out. To keep the gore rigid
and at the same time elastic. to with
stand the wind and to eliminate all dam
ger from seismic disturbances. broad
girders four feet deep were sunk in the
concrete across the gore and repeated
at every floor to the top. The effect of
these extraordinary girders is commu-
nicated through the whole framework.
which. in spite of its size and weight,
responds nicely to the pressures and
feels readily the steadying power of
such a powerful brace.

Wild Bill Donovan is the only

such speed that | couldn't see the

good fortune 10 get to Donovan for
home run in the second game OF the
last worlds series. II happened in the
eighth inning, and until then no run
had been made by either side. Twice
before | had been TO bat. striking out
the first time and hitting groundr

But let me state that neither time

weakened.
II have seen teams shut out for nine
innings without hit, but | know the
pitchers who turned those tricks had
no such speed and curves as Donovan
had that day. | think he worked too
fast. He never rested a second. As
quick as the catcher tossed the ball
back 10 him he sailed it across the
pan again.
"Mathewson and Ed Walsh, McTn-

foolers that Wild Bill showed us for
seven innings in the second game OF
