New York Engineer
Patents Steel Roof
Supported by Air
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
AaSoeiAfeA. preas aNfeaea uLAtta,

Dy OvNA1tO W. OAlfA8A6OAEB6y
Associated Frsss science Uditor.
NEW YORK. Patents for 4 new
kind of building, with q sheet steel
roof supported by the air pressure
from inside the structure, have
been issued to Herbert H. stevens,
jr.. New York consulting engineer.
There are no columns or roof
supports whatever, except the walls.
In construction the sheet of steel
is formed nat. Air pressure then
blows 1t up like . balloon. to the
point where the steel stretches into
the form of low dome.
After stretching, the steel perma-
nently retains its dome shape and
lower degree Of air pressure Is
applied to hold It up.
Models Support Theory.
Such air roofing" has been used
on models at New York University's
College OF Engineering research
division, which made the expert
ments for the War Production
Boards once OF production re-
search and development.
The engineers reported that IN
models and in theory such . build
ing appears feasible. but that full
scale construction is necessary to
prove its practicability.
The degree Of air pressure which
must be maintained inside the struc-
ture to hold up roof Is less than
human being can sense-eyen less
than some pressure changes caused
by the weather. University engi-
neers report that this pressure is 20
low 1t is not likely to have any ad-
verse effects on personnel This,
they say, Is true even with snow and
ordinary roofing materials covering
the steel dome. 1
Leakage Not Feared.
1t also is believed that leakage Of
the internal air pressure through
either air-lock or revolving winter
doors of the type familiar In city
buildings would not be serious.
Standby engines would be provided
to maintain air pressure In case OF
power failure.
Advantages of such construction
noted by the engineers are low con-
struction costs and large. clear over
head spans. Disadvantages, to be
solved in practice, are air leaks, hre
hazards and corroSion. |
Buildings for which the floating
roofs are advantageous include large
airplane hangers, football and other
stadia to be rooted against weather,
community centers. medium and
large one-story structures, buildings
where columns and Instructions are
undesirable, and structures for
which the smallest amount Of ma
terial possible must be transported-I
for example, those to be built over
seas.
This type Of construction also
holds possibilities for storage Of farm
products at railroads, with air.
conditioning to preserve perishables.
