Mill Building Construction (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From Mill Building Construction The Weight Of Steel In The Sides And Roofs Of Mill Buildings, With Out Cranes, Is From 4 Lbs. To 6 Lbs. Per Square Foot Of Exposed Sur Face For The Frame Only. Corrugated Iron Sheathing Weighs From 1 Lb. To 2 Lbs. Per Square Foot. These Weights, With Steel At 5_Cts. Per Lh., Make The Cost Of Steel Buildings From 25 Cts. To 40 Cts. Per Square Foot Of Exposed Surface. A Rough Approximate Rule For Calculating The Extra Weight Of Steel Required In Columns And Girders When Traveling Cranes Are Used Is As Follows: Add 100 Lbs. Of Steel Per Lineal Foot Of Building For Every Five Tons Of Crane Capacity. This Would Give For A 5-Ton Crane An Addition Of 100 Lbs. Per Lineal Foot And For A 20-Ton Crane An Addition Of 400 Lbs. Per Lineal Foot. About The Publisher Forgotten Books Publishes Hundreds Of Thousands Of Rare And Classic Books. Find More At This Book Is A Reproduction Of An Important Historical Work.
