Book Description

Excerpt from Fire Tests of Some New York Building Stones The types of building stones on which the work is based have been selected as representative of those produced in this State and all have been assembled specially for these investigations. A few examples also have been tested which are not now used for structural purposes. The work has been done carefully and thoroughly and the result arrived at should prove of value to engineers, architects and fire insurance underwriters.
