ECONOMIES OF
HOLLOW BRICK
WALL OUTLINED
New Type Foundation Has
Advantages Over Solid
Block.

Building contractors are evincing
keen interest in a new type of hol-
low foundation wall of brick, de-
veloped in Pittsburgh, which has
proved to be more economical to
build than any other type, not ex-
Guiding those of the several kinds
OF synthetic block. In tests by the
engineering department of Ohio
State university it also showed a
much superior strength.
The wall consists of two courses
OF brick laid side by side, four
inches apart, and bonded together
by brick piers spaced at every
fourth or sixth stretcher. leaving q
four-inch hollow space between them.
These piers may be either of single
or two-brick, according to the
strength requirements of the wall.
One can be built as easily as the
other, but the double-b brick pier has
been shown by tests to be the
stronger.
Paramount points in favor of the
wall are that it gives a 12-inch
wall of adequate strength with the
use Of a trifle more than two-thirds
OF the number of brick required in
a solid wall, insures a saving of 40
per cent in mortar, provides a hol-
low wall Of greater strength and
efficiency than any other type now
being built and, being simply
straight bricklaying, provokes no
objection from the mason.
In dryness it is unsurpassed.
Pittsburgh contractors have found
that it affords a saving averaging
3 cents a cubic foot more than the
ordinary type of block wall.
