Seite 282 - In all brick walls every sixth course shall be a heading course, except where walls are faced with brick in running bond, in which latter case every sixth course shall be bonded into the backing by cutting the course of the face brick and putting in diagonal headers behind the same, or by splitting the face brick in half and backing the same with a continuous row of headers.
Seite 320 - In brick and rubble arches a large proportion of the arch ring consists of mortar, and if the center is removed too soon the compression of this mortar might cause a serious or even dangerous deformation- of the arch. Hence the centers of such arches should remain until the mortar has not 'only set, but has attained a considerable part of its ultimate strength. Frequently the centers of bridge arches are not removed for three or four months after the arch is completed, but usually the centers for...

Seite 234 - F. Below a certain inferior limit, ordinarily from 30° to 40° F., the cement will not set, while at a certain upper limit, in many cements between 100° and 140° F., a change is suddenly made from a very rapid to a very slow rate, which then continually decreases as the temperature increases, until practically the ceinjnt will not set.
Seite 150 - The foregoing equations show that the rectangular component of a force along any line equals the product of the force and the cosine of the angle between, the force and the line. They show also that the rectangular component of a force along its own line of action equals the force, and its rectangular component at right angles to the line of action equals zero. Examples. 1. A force of 120 pounds makes an angle of 22 degrees with the horizontal. What...
