right timber. A sight was then taken
thru the level to determine the de-
Election, or in other words. just how
far the end of the timber would sink
into the ground. After this was de
termined satisfactorily three pieces o.
36 inch pipe, of a total height of 40
feet were procured and placed at what
was found to be the weakest point
in the reservoir floor. A concrete
base was built under the same and af-
ter all holes and joints had been
closed inside, with cement mortar, it
was filled to the height of 35 feet with
water. The water being drawn off
this pipe was then filled with broken
stone to the same height. In this
manner it was found that the south
west part of the reservoir floor was
weakest consequently needed the
thickest concrete and heaviest steel,
and plans and specifications were
drawn accordingly.
Extra Concrete Reinforcement
Work for lining the reservoir was
started during May, 1918. Concrete
supports, IL and Is inches wide and
6 inches deep were built into the
floor of the reservoir to act as sup
ports for the floor slabs, the tops of
these being heavily coated with
asphaltum. Upon these supports and
extending from n to the other, the
reinforced concrete slabs were laid.
The floor of the reservoir is laid on
in section slabs, approximately 40
feet square and between the slabs
and reaching down to the asphaltum
on the supports, small spaces were
left. These spaces were afterwards
filled with asphaltum down to and
connecting with the asphaltum on the
supports, thus acting as an elastic
joint between slabs, taking up the eX-
pansion and contraction Of the con
crete and preventing the same from
cracking. In each floor slab there
are four layers of steel laid each way
six inches apart and tied securely,
every 6 inches with wire.
Structure Is Steel Tied
The side walls were built under
forms, T and G. lumber being used,
the smooth side next to the concrete.
In the side walls electrically welded,
wire mesh was used to reinforce the
concrete, double in all instances, the
concrete being 6 inches at the juno
ton floor and four inches at the top
reservoir. Thus the whole struc-
one part should fail all must do so.
the top of this reinforced concrete
both on walls and sides a water
proofing of gunite was placed. What
is known as gunite is cement, sand
and water, shot thru a gun by COM
pressed air. In this instance the
the square inch, making a very
dense mass.
The depth of the concrete in floor
at its weakest point is s inches with
inch steel reinforcing. The bal
ance OF the floor 6 inch cement with
three-eighth inch steel. Approximate
ly 1900 barrels of cement were used
and close to 100, 900 lbs of steel.
The height of water in reservoir
will be 35 feet and will weigh III
tons to the square feet.

The Olinda Reservoir
By E. G.. KEENE.

- IL VI
Not being familiar with the early
history of the Olinda Reservoir | can
say little about it, except that two
sites We're originally selected, one
known as the collins Site" located
in the neighborhood of Idlewild and
the other as "Balch site" upon which
the present reservoir is built. At the
1915 session of the Legislature the
sum of $4,000 was appropriated for
the excavation and rock dams for
this reservoir and the initial work
was begun in May, 1916. This cav
ton required the removal of about
$4,000 yards of earth 5000 yards of
rocks from the site and about $500
yards of earth from the protecting
bitches, although in eXcavating this
earth and rock not near this amount
of rock was found. The mauka dam
is largely built upon a foundation of
rock, extending up about Is feet from
the reservoir floor making the made
portion of the dam some 20 feet high.
The makai dam is built upon a
foundation of hardpan some 8 feet be
low the reservoir floor and is about
60 feet wide at its base, SO feet high
and has a masonry coping 8 feet in
width. Both dams have been built up
by placing each rock in them, layer
upon layer by hand; in other words,
fitting them in position so that the
voids or spaces between them has
been reduced to a minimum, all voids
or spaces being filled with smaller
rocks. In fact these spaces do not
exceed more than Is percent of the
whole mass, making a very compact
and solid body. Each dam has a cut
stone facing, and also a cut stone
coping laid in cement mortar each
of these cut stones being not less than
IL inches in width. 1t was thought
that sufficient rock could be gotten
from the reservoir site to construct
these dams but some 5000 yards of
suitable material had to be brought
from a quarry, formed a short dis
stance from the works which was
brought to the reservoir site upon a
gravity railroad.
Each dam has a backfalling of
earth some 80 feet in width, adding
additional strength to it. The excava,
ton and rock dams were finally
finished and accepted on February,
1918.
Reservoir Floor Carefully Tested
The matter of the proper lining,
the thickness of the concrete and
size of reinforcing steel was not only
the most particular part of the work
but the most interesting, and in order
to get this important information the
strength of the reservoir floor had to
be known and what is known as bear
ing tests" were made in the following
manner:
First a timber II inches square and
about 9 feet high was set upright on
various parts of the reservoir floor
and a platform built. Upon this
platform a rock to the weight of 1000
lbs. was placed, a spaced diagram be-
ing attached to the side of the up

RIGHT IN the FHN

Maui may be i'll the middle of the Paclc Ocean but when it comes
to being right up to snuff she can be counted on every time. According
to Geographic reports it seems to be the proper caper on the mainland
and in Europe to go on strike, especially telephone operators, so not
10 be behndhand Maui staged a strike on Tuesday, the telephone oper-
ators in Waikiki going out and almost succeeding in calling a sympathy
strike by the other offices. But unlike most strikes that have been pull
cd off, the strikers did not decide what they were striking for until
after they had instituted the wakout. Nevertheless you've got to hand
it to Maui for being there, even though she wasn't quite sure why she
was there.
