LETTER CONCERNING

FOR PLICATION

The following le.te*r was sent to
Supt. P. R. Powerfc concerning the
safety of the additJ-n to the school
building
Mr. T. P. Reams,   }
Chief of Dlvittion,
Department Industral Relations,
Columbus, Ohio-   .
Dear Sir:--      •• #- »
An Inspection was made January
30th, M23 of an addition, now under
construction to the Central High
School Building at Amherst, Ohio.
Inspection was relative to reports concerning the structural safety of a section of nn Interior wall which had
been inadvertantly constructed four
Inches to one side of correct location,
necessitating corbeling of brick work
to give sufficient bearing: for floor
beams.
Corbeling consists of two courses
of brick, first course having one and
one half Inches, second course three
Inches projecting beyond face line of
wall. Floor beams were of sufficient
length to extend beyond face line into
wall one nnd one half Inches. This
factor, however, Is not considered and
shearing stress Is computed as if beam
seat was entirely upon corbel.
Floor Section.
Metal lumber floor beams 16" on
center 23' 4" between supports. Area
of floor section supported by single
floor beam 23' -1"s 1' 4" equals 30 sq.
feet.
Dead load per sq. ft. of floor section
including weight of beam 37 lbt.
Superimposed load (See -Sec. 20
State School Code  60 lbt.
Total dead and live loads per square

Average   Ultimate   Shearing   Strength
Of Brick.
Sen U. S. Arsenal tests 1916.
Average  ultlrnat   shear  of common
bard  brick   _    800  lbs.  per
cq. Inch. Taking 400 lbs. one half of
•average ultimate shear and using a
safety faj'tor of 5, or 80 lbs. per tq. In.
as a safe working stress wo have:
Corbel section In shenr 4"x4"x4Ms"
equals 72 cubic inches.
Flange section of beam 4"x4" equals
lfi square Inches.
Corbel section 72 cubic inches multi-
pled by safety factor 80, equals 5760
pounds.
End reaction 14#5 pounds divided
by 72 equals shearing stress of 20
pounds per square inch, under concentrated loading while a safe working Is 80 pounds per square Inch with
safety factor of 6.
Considering end reaction of 1455
pounds under dead and live load, corbels will suppeirt loading four timet
greater with a safety factor of five.
Also beam ends are bricked ln a spe-
ctnl manner insuring uniform load distribution along corbel. In my opinion
and Judgment the corbel work is absolutely safe far ln excess ot any normal requirement.
Respectfully,
(Signed) J. W. Hyser.
