Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the relative resistance to fire of various building stones, a phase of testing that has been overlooked despite its significance in ensuring safety in constructions vulnerable to fire. The author meticulously details fire tests conducted on 18 samples of New York building stones, representing typical stone varieties used in the state. The results, presented in tables and meticulous descriptions, provide valuable insights into the behavior of different stones when subjected to extreme heat, both in slow cooling and sudden cooling scenarios, as well as under the combined action of flame and water. Through these tests, the author establishes an order of refractoriness for the stones tested, aiding engineers, architects, and insurance underwriters in making informed decisions regarding stone selection for constructions susceptible to fire. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
