Of Moisture

A report of the Bureau of Stand

ing Lath as Plaster Base" by l.. S.
Wells and D. G. Smith, gives the
results Of study made as q part
Of the bureaus extensive investiga-
ton of materials which are of in
terest In connection with low-cost
housing.
Fiber boards, especially the homo
geneous type Of low density. may
combine two functions, serving as
base for plaster and also Afford
ing thermal insulation. However, in
common with many other materials,
including wood, these boards change
in dimensions with changes in moist
ure in the surrounding atmosphere,
and this characteristic property
must be considered in the applica-
ton of the material If satisfactory
results are to be obtained, the re-
port states.
Little Published Data.
Doubtless most building contrac-
tors have learned through expert
ence methods of insuring the de-
sired results. but there is a decided
lack OF published information on the
suitability of these boards as plas-
ter bases. Therefore, an investiga-
ton was undertaken to secure in
formation on conditions necessary
for successful use.
The properties OF some fiber in
sulating boards have been deter
mined previously, but there have
been many changes in the methods
Of manufacture. In any case, it was
considered desirable to determine
the density and the flexual and ten
sile strengths of the boards to be
used in the experiments.
Buckling Measured.
The expansion and contraction
of the boards as Influenced by
changes in moisture was also studied.
The boards were then attached to
rigid steel frames by two methods
Of attachment and the buckling re-
sulting from changes in relative
humidity was determined. These

tests gave considerable information
as to the behavior of the boards
themselves and laid the foundation
for the study of their suitability as
plaster bases. This study was car
ried out by actually constructing
plaster panels. Methods Of secur-
ing satisfactory results were deter
mined by experiments in which the
thickness, sand content, strength,
and time of set Of the plasters were
varied independently
There is included also in this pa
