CONCRETE BASEMENT WALL
Remove the Cedar Supports When 1t
Can Be Done with Safety.

Farmers who are planning to build
a concrete basement wall under their
barns this fall will be interested in the
following information furnished Jo-
seph Lavoy, Florence, Wis, by the
Editor, Cement User" 1905 Stock Ex-
change building, Chicago:
Your communication relative to
building a concrete basement wall
for your barn Is received.
In reply we beg to inform
you that If you so desire you can leave
the cedar posts in place, which are
supporting your basement wall. II
these posts are not needed to hold
back the dirt behind them. In other
words If the earthen walls viii not cave
should few posts be removed, we
would advise you to take out as many
posts as may not be needed to support
the barn and to fill in behind and
around the posts with concrete. This
concrete should be mixed one % part
Portland cement to two and one-half
CIV parts sand to five 60 parts
crushed rock or one ID part Portland
cement to five 60 parts bank-run grav-
ell. Make the footings or bottom of your
foundation wall eighteen inches (18
in) wide and nine 6 in.) thick. For or
binary conditions, we think that wall
thickness of twelve III in) or four
teen ia in.l, as you mentioned, is
hardly necessary. A thickness of ten
90 in) should be the greatest of
plenty, unless for some special reason
you should consider a greater thick
ness is needed. We shall be glad to
send you information on how to build
your forms if you so desire.

WATERPROOF CONCRETE
A Sufficiently "RIch Mix" VIII Keep
Out a Jamaica Hurricane.

Discussing this question, the Editor,
Cement User" 1905 Stock Exchange
building, Chicago, says:
'.The best method of waterproofing
concrete is to proportion the sand,
stone and cement properly and thor
oughly mix it, then to lamp it contin-
uously while placing and keep the sur
face moistened while 1t is setting. If
the particles of the stone and of the
sand vary in size so that when they
are mixed together, the least amount
of space is left between them and suf-
ffcient cement added to make rich
mixture, a dense concrete will result
which will be waterproof. We would
recommend that you carefully investi-
gate the graduation of your aggregate
and determine the proportion which
will give you the densest possible
mixture and then use great care in
mixing, using enough water to pro-
duce concrete which will flush with
slight tamping."

CONCRETE Po1aTO CELLAR
We Suggest That Building rs by 20
Feet Would Sc Suitable.

In response to an inquiry received
from B. G. Christ. Wrenshall, Mimi,
the Editor, Cement User" 1908 Stock
Exchange building, Chicago, sends the
following letter:
We would suppose that building
about Is feet long and 20 feet wide
will be suitable for your purpose and
from your letter we understand that
you desire two stories. The floor Of
the lower story can of course be laid
directly on the ground; for the second
story we suggest that you also build
q concrete floor. This can easily be
done by using posts and beams or con-
crete with a concrete slab between the
beams. The posts should be spaced
s feet inches apart and should be 10
inches square. The wall should be
made 8 inches thick and the beams
extending between the posts and the
walls 10 inches wide and IL inches
deep and should be reinforced with
three 1 inch round iron rods placed
1h inches from the bottom of
the beam. This II inch depth
of beam is from the top of the slab
to the bottom of the beam. The floor
slab should be made inches thick and
] inch from the bottom OF the slab; 70
inch round rods running crosswise be-
tween the beams should also be placed
about inches apart and running
lengthwise between the beams; %
inch rods should be spaced IL inches
apart. The concrete should be COM
posed of / part Portland cement to 2
parts sand to 4 parts stone or / part
Portland cement to parts bank-run
gravel, using sufficient water to make
a mushy mass. In placing the con-
crete in the forms lamp it thoroughly
SO that it comes in very close contact
with the steel reinforcing. The
forms for this beam and slab construc-
ton are easily made and the beams
and slabs poured at the same opera
ton.
For your roof you can either make
a clear span between the walls or you
can extend your posts up to support
the cross beams on the post. If you
wish a clear span you should run cross
beams from wall to wall. making beams
8 inches wide and Is inches deep.
Place 81 inch round rods ~ inches
from the bottom Of each beam. 1t
would be more economical, however,
to extend the posts up to the roof
Posts for the second story should be
inches square and the beams be-
tween the posts and the walls should
be inches wide and inches deep.
Two 2% inch rods should be
placed IL inches from the bottom of
the beam. Between the beams 4
inch concrete slab should be placed.
The reinforcing for the roof slab
should consist of % inch round rods
placed 4 inches apart crosswise be-
tween the beams and Is inches apart
lengthwise.
