WOOD PROVES TO
BE SAFEST FOR
HOUSE MATERIAL

The recent earthquake disasters
at Managua, Nicaragua, and in the
area comprising the towns of Hast
ings and Napier. New Zealand, have
again demonstrated lumber-built
homes to be a factor of safe con-
struction in areas subject to such
calamities. Government reports re-
ceiyed here and pictures, particular
ly of the New Zealand disturbance,
make it clear that wood played an
important part in the saving of
many lives. Pictures in the New
Zealand papers show clearly that
even in those houses and buildings
where wood was used as frame work
1t supported those structures suffi-
ciently TO protect life though the
veneers of masonry material about
them were broken and thrown down
by the twists and thrusts of the
earth shocks. Frame houses In both
disasters are reported to have with
stood the shocks and tremors very
| satisfactorily.
The more than three hundred
lives lost in New Zealand in the
February earthquake included prin-
cipally those caught in falling build
ings. Reinforced monolithic build
ings, wood houses and the frames of
lumber framed structures gave good
accounts of themselves. Unit con-
structed masonry, such as brick and
cut stone veneerS, failed generally
One official report expressed the be-
lief that "in the rebuilding the
brick houses and buildings will be
eliminated to a large degree"
! In Nicaragua a large number OF
the fatalities resulted from the
adobe or clay type Of construction,
which gave way, roofs and walls
falling in as the earth shook. Their
tile roofs proved totally unsuited to
! the stresses suffered. Reporting on
this disaster with the appraising eye

Colonel Dan I. Sultan, American Of
! ficer in charge of the Nicaraguan
Canal Survey, stated: Reinforced

their walls we're cracked" He
points out among his conclusions
that "a modern city of reinforced
concrete or steel buildings and
wooden frame residences would have
remained standing with reparable
damage and the loss of life would
have been small"
The serviceability of wood in simi-
lar disasters in other sections of the
world has been repeatedly demon
strated. Though many sections oi
the United States are charted as
potential quake centers, compare
lively few localities are considered
critically so. Our greatest natural
risk" problem has been safe con-
struction in high wind areas where
the dangers arising from stresses
and torsions created by the wind
are different in character but strik-
ingly similar in result. The resilien-
cy and elasticity of wood have
proven repeatedly in the major
wind disasters experienced in this
country that construction of this
type is most suitable for localities
classed as high wind areas.
