LETTER CONCERNING SCHOOL SUBMITTED 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 •"oot 97 lbs. Floor section 30 aq. ft. x 91 lbs., aqua's 2910 lbB. Reaction at supports 1455 lbs. 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. Deputy Supervisor. JWH/ON.
