They even Build Yachts of Reinforced Concrete!! It seems hardly credible, yet it is so! To such a degree has science progressed in the development of reinforcement of concrete that to-day racing yachts, such as is featured in the illustration, cart be built of reinforced concrete only f-inch thick yet strong enough to withstand the enormous distortional strains imposed upon them. The pull of the rigging, the variable stresses of wind pressure on the sails, the pounding and buffeting of angry seas are all taken care of with this thin f-inch shell which has proportionately such enormous strength. To-day the same principle , is applied to the construction V.'/N-t'', 0 , of outside walls of residences, * ' flats and light occupancy - - \ buildings, enabling the use of \ reinforced concrete external \ ( '\ walls at a cost which is little, J •• \ if any, higher than that for ' y,,, ordinary weatherboard. Upon V ... consideration, you will realise •, *,y' . v-*\. / ~^iff what a splendid advance this *. - - /*'}>' 1 is in construction. Walls «L which are fireproof, indes- , ji tructible, proof against borer, 1 vermin and dry rot, need no -J painting or maintenance i " %'■*» * ' and yet at the cost of timber! t How is it done? Briefly, there is in common , - , / , use to-day a mesh of high [ '/< vtensile cold drawn steel, elec- j \ \- j, / trically welded into 2-inch squares—a mesh capable of withstanding a strain of be- gU'IU tween 70,0001b. to 90,0001b. per square inch of section. •>„'j" t To this mesh, by means of an ingenious crimp wire device, is attached a stout waterproof "*'* backing which acts both as a form work for the concrete, and, most importantly and efficiently, as a vertical dampcourse. This mesh is wrapped around and secured to the skeleton framework of the building, and, when finally covered with cement concrete, welds the whole building into one solid unit incapable of distortion. Thus is secured vertical slabs of concrete, .scientifically reinforced in accordance with highest principles of reinforced concrete design, yet slight in thickness and low in cost, V although possessing all the J '/fflftMM&k&fo:'JM/// - > virtues of first-class reinforced ft* concrete. '0 I' ',{ ■■ ' The practical value and re- %/ distance of this form of con- ' struction has been very con- ' clusively tested and proven in the Hawke's Bay earth':h ?"^ es ° f ,93K 1932 f a " d * > 1934, when structures of this <- type emerged unscathed, |. | while all others, with few '* exceptions, suffered heavy damage. there are numerous examples r *' A' of this construction, all of \V'"which bear the closest inspec- '',' t tion. One of the latest pro- ''' K"''V' s $ v' jects now nearly completed is ' &*£ /*V a block of 18 flats, costing * nearly £12,000, a striking i /'|''v \ >5, testimony to the acceptance of these low cost external reinforced concrete vralls. Intending home builders should thoroughly investigate this _ form of construction, which Pfel*<« iiii undoubtedly solves many of their problems and removes those bogies: maintenance and deprec iation. -Article and illustration supplied by Winstone Ltd., Queen Street. mmm i-• ® £,'■ ■ • • • 'I '
