Itemized Cost Of Mill Building Construction Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Itemized Cost of Mill Building Construction These principles will be illustrated by special reference to a mill-building located at Lockland Ohio, and built by The James Stewart Cc., for the Philip Carey Mfg. Cc., for the manufacture of roofing. It might be mentioned that the foundation was of concrete, and that the contract for it was sub-let; therefore the description of this particular building will deal chiefly with the superstructure. While this thesis is concerned chiefly with a mill building, it is nevertheless true that the general outline and data will be applicable to all classes of construction.

Excerpt from Mill Building Construction Mill buildings differ so greatly in character and purpose that it is impossible to formulate tables of dead weights which will suit all cases. The use to which the building is to be put, its location, the character of the roof covering, the presence or absence of cranes, etc., all affect the dead weight, and generally each case must be considered individually. For most purposes of design the loads may be divided into: (1) roof loads; (2) floor loads; (3) crane loads; (4) snow and wind loads, and (5) miscellaneous loads. Roof Loads. - For making rough estimates the diagram of weights of roof trusses given in Fig. 1 will prove useful. These weights have been figured separately and do not quite agree with any of the published formulas. From this diagram, the table (Table I.) giving the weights of roof coverings and the table (Table III.) of wind and snow loads, the total weight to be carried is found. Were it possible to realize in actual practice the small sections required, the weight of trusses would be directly proportional to the load carried. Iron purlins weigh from 2 lbs. to 4 lbs. per square foot of ground covered, according to the spacing of the trusses. Good practice in the United States requires that roofs in northern latitudes shall be figured for at least 40 lbs. per square foot of roof surface. Floor Loads. - The Building Law of New York City requires that floors shall be proportioned to carry the following minimum loads per square foot: Office buildings, 100 lbs.; public halls, 120 lbs.; stores, factories, warehouses, etc., 150 lbs.; floors carrying heavy machinery, 250 lbs. to 400 lbs. In every case the floor must be strong enough to carry its maximum load. Mr. C. J. H. Woodbury, in his book on "The Fire Protection of Mills," gives a table of weights per square foot of floor of various kinds of merchandise, which is reprinted herewith (Table I.) and which will be found valuable in determining loads on floors. Crane Loads. - For small traveling cranes of one or two tons capacity it is safe to consider the total weight of one end of the crane and its load as twice the capacity of the crane.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Design and Construction of Mill Buildings: And Other Industrial Plants This book is the outcome of a smaller one entitled Mill Build ing Construction, written in 1896 and given to the publishers in 1900. These books are based on the personal experience of the writer, covering a period of twenty years in designing and esti mating buildings, bridges and other structural work, and most of their contents is from his private notes and records. A separate part on The Theory of Economic Design was included in the present work because of the large amount of capi tal being invested in manufacturing plants. A knowledge of the possibilities and requirements should precede the design, and it is only by the exercise of such knowledge that the best results are Obtained. The introduction of Part I has caused some repetition, as subjects discussed generally in this part are treated more fully in Parts III and IV on details. The repetition, however, seems necessary for clearness, as the whole contents of one part would be out of place in the other. This is particularly the case in the chapters on framing of northern light and other roofs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Design of a Modern Steel Mill Building: Thesis The art of designing and constructing factory buildings of the type commonly known as Mill Buildings is a distinct branch of engineering work. The author believes that a great deal of capital is expended uselessly through the making of individual designs, because of the time spent on the design, the lettino of contracts, the fabrication of the various parts; because of money spent during this period due to advancing costs; and because of lack of co-operation between the Owner, the Engineer, and the Contractor. In order to obviate these difficulties a great many organizations have been formed in this country, known as Engineers and Contractors who do their work on a cost plus commission basis. They have standardized their designs of the various parts of the buildings, the details, their specifications, their basic costs, their account - ing, and their methods of construction, and are thus able to eliminate a great waste of time and materials.

Excerpt from Practical Hints on Mill Building My primary object in preparing this book was to place before the mining public a distinctively flour-milling and mill-building work. This, I have thought, was needed; and in its preparation have constantly endeavored to make it plain, simple and entirely practical; and if to any extent I have, in the estimation of the reader, failed in carrying out the design, I hope that such failure will be charged up to my good intentions only, allowing one to balance the other, leaving the book free to stand on its merits exclusively, giving it credit for whatever of value it does contain. The tables on gearing, belting and shafting I have carefully prepared for this work; but much of the other general matter of a mechanical nature has been copied from good authorities, prominent among them being Chas. H. Haswell. I have preferred to give, in the main, the productions entire of these authorities, with credit, to rewriting, recompiling and putting them in as original, as they could not have been very much improved, if at all, and could not have been considered original or any more valuable than in their present shape.

Excerpt from Cost Standards for a Model Stationary Custom Feed Mill for the Midwest The purpose of this preliminary report is to establish a model stationary custom.feed mill representative of some typical Midwestern operations and de termine labor standards for this model mill. A model mill of this type is not designed as a blueprint for plant construction but rather as an aid to custom feed mill operators in better understanding their own operations and problems.
