This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fireproofing of Steel Buildings The want of any systematized and collected form of in formation ou the subject of the development of the fireproofing of steel buildings and its present most approved and efficient methods of treatment', as recommended and used in the best practice of the day, has induced the author to offer this volume. It is hoped that it may rouse more general interest in a phase of building construction, the full importance of which, from an economic standpoint and from its close rela tion to the safety of human life, still largely remains to be realized in a practical and adequate way. The subject of fireproofing is still in the interesting stage of experimentation, and there is vast opportunity for practical ingenuity to make improvement and new suggestion. Indeed the term fireproof in relation to present imperfect conditions and environments is almost utopian. A building can, at best, be only relatively fire and water-proof. No structure can be considered as a unit, exclusive of its neighbor. But it may be assumed that a building designed and erected in accordance with the recommendations made in the following chapters, will be as nearly fireproof as the surrounding build ings and the character of the contents will permit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete Garages: The Fireproof Home for the Automobile With the advent of the automobile and its growing popularity, especially among the people living in suburban towns, there has come a demand for a new class of building - the private garage. The necessary storage of oils, gasoline and other combustible materials, makes the garage a veritable firetrap, unless a fireproof building is erected. Concrete, by reason of its adaptability to varying conditions, is the cheapest satisfactory fireproof building material, and the absurdity of storing a valuable automobile in a building liable to burn at any moment, when, for a small difference in price, a fraction of the cost of the automobile, a fireproof building can be built, is readily apparent. Many automobile owners have realized this situation, and the illustrations in this book show a few simple designs in concrete garages which have been built for the proper housing of automobiles and the protection of the property. It is hardly necessary to say that wood is not a proper material for the construction of garages. Moreover, wood floors become soaked with oil and quickly rot tires. Aside from being inflammable, the high cost of lumber and of the skilled labor necessary renders the difference in price between wood and concrete a negligible quantity. Brick work and masonry are as a rule very much more expensive than concrete, while offering no additional advantages. There are several ways of using concrete in garage construction, each of which will give good results, the best methods being determined largely by local conditions, such as the supply of skilled or unskilled labor and the quality of material to be had. Simple one-story garages can be constructed without difficulty under the direction of a good foreman, but for the more elaborate buildings and those of more than one story, an architect or engineer thoroughly familiar with concrete construction should be employed. This is essential when reinforced concrete floors are to be built. The following methods of building concrete garages are the most popular, and used either singly or in combination will give satisfactory results. 1. - Mass or reinforced concrete. 2. - Concrete hollow tile. 3. - Concrete block. 4. - Pipe frame with wire lath and stucco. 5. - Wood stud frame and stucco.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fireproof Construction: An Authoritative Presentation of the Fire Prevention Problem, Giving the Historical Development of the Art of Safe Building, and the Best Modern Practice in Fireproof and Fire-Resisting From the beginning of time fire has played a most important part in the world's evolution, changes, progress, its very existence. Physicists will tell you the composition of fire, its why and where1 fore, but with all that we are not now concerned. Suffice it for us that fire is what might be called, for our purpose, the visible expres sion of heat. Without solar heat there would be no life here; abso lutely everything depends upon it. But we are not dealing with reflected solar rays and such highly interesting but ultra-scientific matter; we have in mind now mere fire, the combustion of inflam mable materials by ignition and the destruction or damage to many materials by exposure to great heat generated by fire plain, ter restrial burning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Concrete House and Its Construction The demand for fire-resisting, durable and sanitary construction has been the dominant note in most that has been said and written on the subject of architecture during the last decade. The American dwelling of the best class is a model of convenience, comfort and beauty, and these attributes may be found even in houses of moderate cost. But with rare exceptions, three fatal defects accompany modern construction. Modern houses are not fire-resisting, not durable and, to a lesser degree, not sanitary. Knowledge of these facts, coupled with that newly awakened, irresistible demand for vastly increased economy and efficiency in the nations industrial and social development, has led American architects to concentrate every effort toward the solution of the problem. They found that the highest standard of fire-resisting construction was so closely allied with extreme durability and sanitary excellence as to embrace these three important structural reforms under that single head. Iron and steel did not, unless protected, represent fire-resisting construction, and in this investigation many other materials were rejected as non-fireproof in themselves. In the average house, fire starting in the cellar soon transforms the building into a smoking ruin. Only the eternal vigilance of our fire departments, maintained at a cost of more than $100,000,000 annually, prevents the destruction of thousands of homes each year. A study of the fire losses of this and European countries shows our annual loss to be $2.51 per capita, while in the cities of the six leading nations of Europe it is only 33 cents. That fire-proof construction is the exception rather than the rule, is due mainly to a mistaken idea of its cost.

This was recognized by the Department of Commerce Building Code Committee in preparing its report, Recommended Minimum Requirements for Fire Resistance in Buildings, issued in 1931.
