Such part of the expenses of improv- ing any streets, lanes, avenues, or alleys by grading, paving, gravel- ing, curbing, constructing sidewalks, or otherwise improving the same, as the City Council shall determine, may be paid from the general fund, street fund, or district street fund, from the proper street district, or the said cost, or a portion thereof, as the City Council shall determine, may be defrayed by special assessments upon lots and premises fronting upon that part of the street or alley so improved or proposed so to be, or the lands fronting upon such improvement and such other lands as in the opinion of the City Council may be benefited by the improvement. When the City Coun- cil shall determine to make any public improvements, such as laying pavements, constructing sewers, drains, or sidewalks and curbing, macadamizing, oiling, graveling, or grading any streets or alleys, or in any way improving the same, and defray the whole or any part of the costs or expenses thereof by special assessment, they shall so declare by ordinance, stating the improvements and what part or portion of the expenses thereof shall be paid out of the general fund, street fund, district street fund or any other fund. When expenses for such improvements or repairs shall be assessed, and there shall be lands belonging to the city, school buildings, or other public buildings or public grounds not taxable, fronting on such improve- ments, such part of the expense of such improvement as in the opinion of the City Council, or assessor making such special assess- ment would be justly apportionable to such public grounds, buildings. 20 CHARTER and city property, and to any interior, squares or spaces formed by the intersection of streets where they are taxable, shall be paid from the general fund, or from the proper street or district street fund, or part from each, as the City Council shall determine to be just, and the balance of such expense shall be assessed upon the taxable lots and premises fronting upon such improvement or improved streets, in proportion to their number of feet frontage; or, if the special assessment shall include other lands not fronting upon the improve- ment, then upon all land included in such special assessment, in pro- portion to the estimated benefits resulting thereto from the improve- ment. When such assessment is to be made upon lots in proportion to their frontage upon the improvement, if from the shape or size of any lot, the assessment thereon in nroportion to its frontage would be unjust and disproportionate to the assessment upon other lots, the city council, or assessor making the assessment, may assess such lot or such number of feet frontage as in their opinion would be just. The cost and expense of the following improvement, including the necessary land therefor, viz., for city hall and other public buildings for the use of the city, officers, engine-houses and struc- tures for the fire department, water-works, city prison, levees and embankments, shall be paid from the proper general fund of the city; except that, in case of lands appropriated for streets and rights of way, the cost thereof may be paid in whole or in part from the avails of special assessment to be levied therefor in the manner herein prescribed. Whenever, in the opinion of the City Council, the benefits thereof are special rather than general or public, when by the provisions of this act the cost and expense of any local improve- ments mav be defrayed in whole or in part by special assessment upon the lands fronting and adjacent to or otherwise benefited by such improvement, such assessment may be made in the manner hereinafter specified. When the City Council shall determine to make any public improvement or repairs, in the laying of pavements, or constructing sidewalks, or in any way improving the streets in the city, and defray the whole or any part of the cost and expense thereof by special assessments, they shall so declare by ordinance, stating the improvement and what part or portion of the expense thereof shall be paid by special assessment, and what part, if any, has been appropriated from the general fund of the city, or from the street funds, or district street funds, and whether the assessment is to be made according to benefits or frontage, and in case the assess- ment is to be made according to benefits they shall by apt description designate the district, if a special district is set apart therein, in- cluding the lands to be so assessed; or in case there is no district so set apart they shall describe definitely the location of the improve- ment, and state that the assessment is to be made upon all the lands benefited thereby according to benefit; but in case the assessment is to be made upon the property according to the frontage, it shall be sufficient in said ordinance to so state with a definite location of the improvements to be made. It shall not be necessary in any case to describe minutely in the ordinance each particular lot to be assessed, but simply to so designate the property, district, or the location that the various parts to be assessed can be ascertained and described by the city assessor. Before ordering any public improvement or re- pairs as provided in the last preceding section, any part of the expense of which is to be defrayed by special assessment, the City Council shall cause estimates of the expense thereof to be made by the City Engineer, and also plats and diagrams, when practicable, of the work and of the locality to be improved, and deposit the same with the city clerk for public examination and they shall give notice thereof and of the proposed improvement or work and of the location CHARTER 21 of the improvement and of the district to be assessed, by publication for two weeks at least in one of the newspapers of the city, by posting printed notices of the same in at least three of the most public places in each ward, and also a notice in or near each post-office of said city, and three notices near the site of the proposed work in some public and conspicuous place, and of the time when the City Council will meet and consider any suggestions and objections that may be made by parties interested with respect to the proposed improvements. Unless a majority of the persons to be assessed shall petition there- for, no such improvement or work shall be ordered except by the con- currence of two-thirds of all the members elected to the City Council. In all cases where the board of health or other officials of the city or the City Council are authorized to do so, or cause to be done, certain things, the whole or any part of which may be charged as a special assessment upon the property, and where special provisions for making the levy are not herein made, the City Council may cause sworn statements of the cost thereof, and of the location thereof, to be made as provided in the last paragraph, and may at their option refer the same to the city assessor and have the same assessed against such property. The cost and expenses of any improvement which may be defrayed by special assessments shall include the cost of surveys, plans, assessments, and cost of construction. In no case shall the whole amount be levied by special assessment upon any lots or premises where any one improvement exceeds twenty per cent of the value of such lands as last before valued and assessed for state and county taxation in the county tax roll. Any cost exceeding that per cent which would otherwise be chargeable upon said lots or premises shall be paid from the general funds of the city. The City Council shall prescribe the fees and compensation that may be charged in the work of making any special assessment as part of the assessment. No contract for doing the work or making the improve- ment contemplated herein shall be made or awarded, nor shall the City Council incur any expense or liability in relation thereto until after the notice and hearing provided for herein shall have been given or had. But nothing herein contained shall be construed as prevent- ing the City Council from advertising for proposals for doing the work whenever they see fit, provided the contract shall not be made or awarded before the time herein stated. When any special assess- ment is to be made pro rata upon the lots or premises in any special assessment district, according to frontage or benefits, the City Coun- cil shall, by ordinance, direct the same to be made by the city assessor, and shall state therein the amount to be assessed, and whether according to frontage or benefits, and describe or designate the lots and premises, or the locality constituting the district to be assessed; in fixing the amount or sum of money that may be required to pay the costs of any improvement, the City Council need not necessarily be governed by the estimates of such improvement provided for here- in, but the City Council may decide upon such other sum, within the limitations described, as they may deem necessary to cover the cost of such improvement. Upon receiving such order and directions the city assessor shall make out an assessment roll, entering and de- scribing all lots, premises, and portions of land to be assessed with the names of the persons, if known, chargeable with the assessments thereon, and shall levy thereon and against such persons the amount to be assessed in the manner directed by the City Council and the provisions of this act applicable to the assessment; provided, in all cases where the ownership thereof is unknown to the assessor he shall, in lieu of the name of the owner, insert the name "unknown"; provided also, if by mistake or otherwise any person shall be im- properly designated as the owner of any lot or premises, or if the 22 CHARTER same shall be assessed without the name of the owner, or the name of the person other than the owner, such assessment shall not for any cause be vitiated, but shall in all respects be as valid upon and against such lot, parcel of land, or premises as though assessed in the name of the proper owner, and when the assessment roll shall have been confirmed and recorded, shall be a lien on such lot, parcel of land, or premises, and collected as in other cases. If the assess- ment is required to be according to the frontage, the city assessor shall assess each lot or parcel of land or such relative portion of the whole amount to be levied, as the length of front of such premises fronting upon the improvement bears to the whole frontage of all the lots to be assessed; unless on account of the shape or size of any lot or lots an assessment for a different number of feet would be more equitable; and the frontage of all lots to be assessed shall be deemed to be the aggregate number of feet as determined upon for assessment by the city assessor. If the assessment is directed to be according to benefits, the city assessor shall assess upon each lot such relative portion of the whole sum to be levied as shall be pro- portionate to the estimated benefit resulting to such lot from the improvement. When the assessor shall have completed the assess- ment he shall report the same to the City Council. Such reports shall be signed by him and made in the form of a certificate and en- dorsed on the assessment roll as follows: State of Nevada, City of Reno, ss. To the City Council of the City of Reno: I hereby certify and report that the foregoing is the assessment roll, and the assessment made by me pursuant to an ordinance of the City Council of the said city, adopted (give date), for the purpose of paying that part of the cost which the City Council decided should be paid and borne by special assessment for the purpose of paying the costs of (e. g.) for paving Virginia street from First street to Fourth street in said city (as the case may be), (or constructing a sewer on Sierra street), (or as the case may be). That in making such assessment, I have as near as may be and according to my best judgment conformed in all things to the direc- tions contained in the ordinance of the City Council hereinbefore referred to, as well as to the charter of the city relating to such assessment. Dated, Reno, Nevada, , A. D. 19 City Assessor. When any expense shall be incurred by the city upon or in respect to any separate or single lot, parcel of land, or premises which, by the provisions of this act, the City Council is authorized to charge and collect as special asssessment against the same, and not being of that class of special assessments required to be made pro rata upon several lots or parcels of land, on account of the labor or services for which such expense was incurred, verified by the officer or person performing the services, or causing the same to be done, with a description of the lot or premises upon or in respect to which the expense was incurred, or the name of the owner or per- son, if known, chargeable therewith, shall be reported to the City Council in such manner as the City Council shall present. And the provisions of the previous subdivisions with reference to special assessments generally and the proceedings necessary to be had before making the improvement, shall not apply to the assessments to cover the expense incurred, in respect to that class of improvements con- templated in this subdivision. The City Council shall determine what amount or part of every expense shall be charged and the person, if known, against whom CHARTER 23 and the premises upon which the same shall be levied as a special assessment; and as often as the City Council shall deem it expedient they shall require all of the several amounts so reported and de- termined, and the several lots or premises and the persons charge- able therewith respectively to be reported by the city clerk to the city assessor for assessment. Upon receiving the report mentioned in the preceding subdivision the city assessor shall make a special assessment roll and levy a special assessment therein upon each lot or parcel of land so reported to him and against the person chargeable therewith, if known, the whole amount or amounts of all the charges so directed as afore- said to be levied upon each of such lots or premises, respectively, and when completed he shall report the assessment roll to the City Council. When any special assessment shall be reported by the city assessor to the City Council as in this section and subdivision directed, the same shall be filed in the office of the city clerk and numbered. Before adopting the assessment the city council shall cause notice to be published for two weeks at least in some news- paper of the city of the filing of the same with the city clerk, and appointing a time when the city council and assessor will meet to review the assessments. Any person objecting to the assessment may file his objections thereto in writing with the city clerk. The notice provided for in this subdivision may be addressed to the per- sons whose names appear upon the assessment roll and to all others interested therein, and may be in the following form: Notice of Special Assessment. To (insert the names of the persons against whom the assess- ment appears) and to all persons interested, take notice: That the roll of the special assessment heretofore made by the city assessor for the purpose of defraying that part of the costs which the city council decided should be paid and borne by special assessment for the (e. g., paving Virginia street to Fourth street in said city), (or constructing a sewer on Sierra street between First street and Fifth street), or (as the case may be), is now on file at my office for public inspection. Notice is hereby given that the city council and city assessor of the city of Reno will meet in the council room in said city on (insert the date fixed upon), to review said assess- ment, at which time and place opportunity will be given all persons interested to be heard. Dated City Clerk. At the time appointed for the purpose aforesaid the city council and city assessor shall meet and there, or at some adjourned meeting, review the assessment; and shall hear any objection to said assess- ments which may be made by any person deeming himself aggrieved thereby, and shall decide upon the same; and the city council may correct the same as to any assessment or description of the premises, appearing therein, and may confirm it as reported or as corrected, or they may refer the assessment back to the city assessor for re- vision; or annul it and direct a new assessment; in which case the same proceedings shall be had as in respect to the previous assess- ment. When a special assessment shall be confirmed the city clerk shall make an endorsement upon the roll showing the date of con- firmation which shall be in the following words: "Special assess- ment roll for (describing fully what the assessment is for), as ap- 24 CHARTER proved by the city council, the day of (month), 19 (affixing the time). Dated City Clerk." Sixth — When any special assessment roll shall be confirmed by the city council it shall be final and conclusive except as hereinafter provided; but no such assessment shall be confirmed except by a two-thirds vote of all the members elected to the city council. The city clerk and clerk of the city council shall thereupon deliver to the county auditor, acting ex officio city auditor, the assessment roll as confirmed by the city council, with his certificate of such con- firmation, and of the date thereof. The county auditor, acting ex officio citv auditor, shall thereupon, without extra compensation, record such assessment roll in his office, in a suitable book to be kept for that purpose, and append thereto his certificate of the date of such recording, whereupon from said date all persons shall be deemed to have notice of the contents of such assessment roll. Said roll when so endorsed and recorded shall be prima facie evidence in all courts and tribunals of the regularity of all proceedings pre- liminary to the making thereof and of the validity of said assess- ment and assessment roll. All special assessments shall, from the date of recording thereof, constitute a lien upon the respective lots or parcels of land assessed and shall be charged against the persons and properties until paid. Upon the confirmation and recording of any assessment the amount thereof may be divided into not more than ten installments, one of which installments to be collected yearly, in a manner hereinafter prescribed, with annual interest thereon at a rate not exceeding seven per cent. All special assessments, except such installments thereof as the city council shall make payable at a future time, shall be due and payable upon recording, and suit may be commenced for the collec- tion thereof in the name of the city of Reno in the same manner as any other action for money owed the city of Reno; provided, the court shall order the property, or sufficient thereof to cover the amount of judgment and costs, sold, and the proceedings in said action, where the same are not inconsistent, shall be the same as is provided in the civil practice act of the State of Nevada, and when- ever and wherever the words "justice court," "justice of the peace," and "constable" are used in said civil practice act the same shall be held to mean police court, police judge, and chief of police, respec- tively, for the purposes of said action. Should any lots or lands be divided after a special assessment thereon shall have been confirmed and divided into installments and before the collection of the installments, the city council may require the city assessor to apportion the uncollected amounts upon the sev- eral parts of lands so divided. The report of such apportionment when confirmed shall be conclusive on all the parties, and all assess- ments thereafter made upon such lots or lands shall be according to such subdivision. Should any special assessment prove insufficient to pay for the improvement or work for which it is levied, and the expense incident thereto, the amount of such deficiency shall be paid from the general fund in the treasury of the city; and in case a greater amount shall have been collected than was necessary the excess shall be refunded ratably to those by whom it was paid. Whenever any special assessment shall, in the opinion of the city council, be invalid by reason of any irregularity or informality in the CHARTER 25 proceedings, or if any court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge such assessments to be illegal, the city council shall, whether the improvement has been made or not, or whether any part of the assessments have been paid or not, have power to cause a new assess- ment to be made for the same purpose for which the former assess- ment was made. All of the proceedings for such reassessment and for the collection thereof shall be conducted in the same manner as provided for special assessment in this act. Whenever any sum or any part thereof levied upon any premises in the assessment so set aside has been paid and not refunded, the payment so made shall be applied upon the reassessment on said premises; and the assessment to that extent be deemed satisfied. No judgment or decree nor any act of the city council vacating a special assessment shall destroy or impair the lien of the city upon the premises assessed for such amount of the assessment as may be equitably charged against the same or as by regular mode of proceedings might have been lawfully assessed thereon. When any special assessment shall be confirmed, recorded, and be payable, and the city council desires to have the same paid in annual installments as hereinbefore provided, the city council may, by resolution, direct the city clerk to report to the city assessor a description of such lots and premises as are contained in said roll, with the amount of the assessment levied upon each, or the amount of the annual installment with the interest added, and the name of the owner or occupant against whom the assessment was made, and to require the city assessor to levy the several sums so assessed as a tax upon the several lots or premises to which they were assessed respectively, and the city council shall annually and at the same time the city tax levy is made continue to so require the city assessor to levy the said installments of special assessments until the whole sum assessed with interest thereon has been paid. Upon receiving such report, the city assessor shall levy the sums therein mentioned upon the respective lots and premises to which they were assessed and against the persons chargeable therewith as a tax in the general assessment roll next thereafter to be made in a column for special assessments, and the county auditor, acting ex officio city auditor, shall extend the same on said roll in the same manner as state and county taxes or assessments are extended, and thereupon the amount so levied in said assessment roll shall be collected and enforced with the other taxes in the assessment roll by the county tax receiver, acting ex officio city tax receiver, and in the same manner, and shall continue to be a lien upon the premises assessed until paid, and when collected shall be credited to the proper funds; provided, that nothing in this paragraph set forth shall be construed as preventing the city of Keno from collecting any special assessment by suit in the name of the city of Reno in the manner in this subdivision before con- tained, and the said special assessment roll and the certified resolu- tion confirming it, as recorded, shall be prima facie evidence of the regularity of the proceedings in making the assessment and of the right of the city to recover judgment therefor. If in any action for the collection of any assessment it shall ap- pear by reason of any irregularity of informality that the assess- ment has not been properly made against the defendant, or the lot or the premises sought to be charged, the court may, nevertheless, on satisfactory proof that the expense has been incurred by the city which is a proper charge against the defendant, or the lot or premises in question, render judgment for the amount properly chargeable against such defendant or upon such lot or premises. , The city council of the city of Reno is hereby authorized and em- 26 CHARTER powered to correct or amend the said special assessment roll, by resolution, at any time after confirmation and recording of the same, so as to make it conform to the actual cost of the work for which the same was levied, and all changes in said roll shall be made by resolution, by a two-thirds vote of all the members elected to the city council, "and the said resolution, or a copy thereof certified by the clerk of the city council as being a true copy, shall be posted in the said special assessment roll and shall constitute conclusive authority for the change so made. In construing the fifth and sixth powers of section ten, article twelve, anything in this act contrary thereto shall not be deemed in conflict with the provisions of said powers. Seventh — To organize, regulate, maintain, and disband a fire department, to nrovide for the extinguishment of fire and protection against the same; to regulate or prohibit the storage of gunpowder or other explosive, combustible, or inflammable material within, or transported through, the city, and to prescribe the distance from said city where the same may be stored, held, or kept; to regulate the selling, using, or keeping of firecrackers, fireworks, and the giv- ing of any exhibition of fireworks within the city limits and any designated portion thereof. Eighth — To determine, by ordinance, what shall be deemed nuisances, and to provide for the abatement, prevention, and removal of the same by the city or at the expense of the parties creating, maintaining, causing, or committing such nuisances, and to provide for the penalty and punishment of the same. Ninth — To provide for safeguarding the health of the city. For this purpose, the city council may appoint a city board of health and by ordinance, prescribe its duties and powers, and provide that any violation of any order of the board of health shall be considered a misdemeanor. Tenth — To fix, impose and collect a license tax on and to regu- late all character of lawful trades, callings, industries, occupations, professions and business, conducted in whole or in part within the city, including all theaters, theatrical or melodeon performances and performances of any, every, and all kinds for which an admission fee is charged, or which may be held in any house, place, or enclosure where wines, spirituous, malt, vinous, or intoxicating liquors are sold or given away; circuses, shows, billard tables, pool tables, bovd- ing alleys, and all exhibitions and amusements.

Section 99. SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE CON- STRUCTION OF CLASS "B" BUILDINGS— Class "B" buildings shall have a complete frame of columns, girders, and beams made of rein- forced concrete with masonry walls, and the structural parts of floors and roof constructed of reinforced concrete. Steel roof trusses, con- structed in accordance with the requirements for Class "A" buildings, shall be permitted in Class "B" buildings. Section 100. MATERIALS — TESTS AND ALLOWABLE STRESSES — The concrete shall be mixed in the proportion of not GENERAL ORDINANCES 231 less than one part of Portland cement to six of aggregates, consisting of sand and gravel or broken stone of not more than one inch major dimension for curtain walls, columns, slabs, girders, and beams and two-inch major dimensions for basement walls and foundations. The proportions shall be such that the resistance of the concrete to crushing shall not be less than two thousand (2000) pounds per square inch after hardening for twenty-eight (28) days. In concrete the following allowable stresses in pounds per square inch shall not be exceeded: In direct compression, one-fifth of the ultimate compressive strength, but not to exceed five hundred (500) pounds in any case. In helically wound or hooped columns, one-fourth of the ultimate compressive strength, but not to exceed seven hundred (700) pounds in any case. In compression in outer fibre in cross-bending, one-fourth of the ultimate compressive strength, but not to exceed five hundred (500) pounds in any case. In shear, one-tenth of the allowable stress in outer fibre in cross- bending, but not to exceed seventy-five (75) pounds in any case. No tensile stress shall be taken by the concrete. In adhesion of concrete to steel, sixty (60) pounds per square inch of concrete in contact with steel for plain bars and one hundred (100) pounds for deformed bars. When the safe limit of adhesion is exceeded, some provisions must be made for transmitting the strength of the steel to the concrete. Steel shall bend, when cold, through an angle of one hundred (100) degrees around a radius equal to five times the thickness of the test piece, without fracture on the outer circumferences. The fracture shall be silky or fine granular. All steel shall be free from dirt, paint, and excessive scale and rust. In steel the following allowable stresses in pounds per square inch shall not be exceeded: In tension, one-third of the elastic limit, but not to exceed twenty thousand (20,000) pounds in any case. In shear, ten thousand (10,000) pounds. In compression, fifteen times the allowable stress in direct com- pression in the concrete. The ratio of the moduli of elasticity of concrete to steel shall be taken as one to fifteen. Section 101. DESIGN IN GENERAL. The bending moments due to uniformly distributed loads shall not be taken less than: WL-8 for beams simply supported at the ends. WL-12 for continuous beams. WL-20 for SQuare floor slabs which are reinforced in both direc- tions and are supported on all sides and constructed continuous. W equals the total uniformly distributed load. L equals the length of span. For concentrated loads the allowed moment shall not exceed that due to an equivalent uniformly distributed load. The moment of resistance of any reinforced concrete construction under transverse loads shall be determined by formulas based on the following conditions: (a) The bond between the concrete and steel is sufficient to make the two materials act together as a homogeneous solid. 232 GENERAL ORDINANCES (b) The strain in any fibre is directly proportionate to the dis- tance of that fibre from the neutral axis. (c) The modulus of elasticity of the concrete remains constant within the limits of the working stresses fixed in this ordinance. The dimensions of such a beam or g^irder and its reinforcement shall be determined and fixed in such a way that the strength of the metal in tension shall measure the strength of the beam or girder. If the concrete in compression, including the allowable concrete in adjoining floor construction, does not afford sufficient strength for that purpose, the compression side of the beam or girder in question shall also be reinformed with metal. Reinforced concrete construction shall be designed so that the shearing stresses, both vertical and horizontal, developed in any part of the construction, shall not exceed the safe working strength of the concrete, as fixed in this ordinance, or sufficient amount of steel shall be introduced in such a position that the deficiency in the resistance to shear is overcome. All beams or girders shall be reinforced with metal, if necessary, for other reactions. Neither the reinforcing metal nor the concrete shall be subjected to combined stresses in the same place so as to exceed in combination the stresses allowable separately. Section 102. REINFORCEMENT— If it is necessary to splice reinforcing members, either in compression or in tension, there shall be either a steel splice that in tension will develop the full strength of the member, or else the members shall be lapped in the concrete for a length equal to at least the following: For plain bars of medium steel, forty times the diameter of maxi- mum diagonal of cross-section. For plain bars of high elastic limit steel, seventy times the diameter of maximum diagonal of cross- section. In no case shall the reinforcement of beams or girders be spliced. If the hooping of columns is spliced, the splice shall develop the full strength of the least section of the hooping. Steel shall be imbedded in concrete so that the thickness of concrete covering outside of steel shall be as follows: For flat slabs, not less than three-fourths (%) of an inch. For columns and beams, not less than two (2) inches. For foundations, not less than three (3) inches from earth at sides and top, and six (6) inches from earth at bottom of slab. Where the shape of the reinforcement is such that it does not give sufficent bond to the concrete insulation, such reinforcement shall be wrapped with wire or otherwise prepared as required for fire-proofing of structural steel. Any concrete structure or floor filling, in same reinforced or otherwise, which may be erected on a permanent centering of sheet metal, or metal lath and curved bars, or a metal centering of any form, must be strong enough to carry its loads without assistance from the centering, unless the concrete is so applied as to protect the centering as herein specified for reinforced steel. Exposed metal centering, or exposed metal of any kind, will not be considered as a factor in the strength of any part of any concrete structure, and a plaster finish applied over the metal shall not be deemed sufficient Drotection. Section 103. FLOOR AND ROOF SLABS— The general provision as to design shall hold for floor and roof slabs, which shall be of rein- GENERAL ORDINANCES 233 forced concrete. No floor slap shall be less than three and one-half (SV2) inches thick. No roof slab shall be less than three (3) inches thick. The covering may be wood, marble, cement, tile, or other material, but such covering: shall not be considered as part of the thickness required for slabs. The floor slab, to the extent of not more than five times its depth on each side of a beam or girder, mav be taken as a part of said beam or girder in computing the moment of resistance of the beam or girder, but the beam and slab must be built at the same time as a unit. Where beams, girders, and slabs connect in such a way that there is a corresponding member on the opposite side of each support, they may be taken as continuous. Wherever possible, beams and girders and also their intermediate floor construction shall be made continuous. Reinforcing metal shall be used for that purpose in the top of all connecting members at the point of support, and it shall be sufficient both in section and length to prevent fracture at the point of support when the connecting mem- bers are carrying twice their calculated loads; and in no case shall the area of metal provided for continuity be less than seventy-five (75) per cent of the area of metal allowed for tension in the bottom flange. Continuity or separte reinforcing material may be used in the top of the slab. In either case, however, if a part of the slab is con- sidered as part of the beam or girder, the reinforcing material must cross the full width, both of the beam or girder and the part of slab so considered. Section 104. DESIGN OF COLUMNS — Columns of reinforced concrete shall not have an unsupported length exceeding fifteen times the least horizontal dimension, which shall not be less than ten (10) mches. In computing the strength of columns, the two inches of concrete nearest the surface shall be deducted from the area of concrete. In columns subjected to cross-bending, the unit stresses from combined loadings shall not exceed the allowed stresses for direct compression. All columns shall have vertical steel reinforcing members, the net area of cross-section of which shall be at least one per centum and not more than five per centum of the area of concrete in cross- section where rods are used. These members shall be stayed against buckling at points whose distance apart does not exceed the least diameter of the column. The stays shall have an area of at least five one-hundreds (5-100) of a square inch. Where structural shapes are used for reinforcing, they shall be designed as provided for similar members in Class "A" buildings, and any concrete calculated to take compressive stress shall bo enclosed in said reinforcement or otherwise reinforced as herein provided. Vertical reinforcing members which are considered in com- pression shall have full, perfect bearings at each joint, and such joints shall occur only at floors or other points of lateral support, and tight- fitting sleeves and splice bars shall be provided at all such joints. Suitable steel or cast base nlates shall be provided at the bottom of columns to distribute the column loads over the footings. 234 GENERAL ORDINANCES The allowed stresses in columns shall not exceed one-fifth of the ultimate resistance to direct compression per square inch on the con- crete, and in the steel the allowed stress shall be computed from the corresponding compression, except in hooped or helically wound columns. Columns which are hooped with steel near the outer surface in the shape of circular hoops, or of a helical cylinder, and if the mini- mum distance apart of the hoops, or the pitch of helix does not exceed one-tenth of the diameter of the hooped or helical cylinder, may have the strength assumed as the sum of the following two elements : 1. The area of the concrete inside the hoops at one-fourth of the ultimate strength in direct compression in pounds per square inch, but not to exceed seven hundred (700) pounds per square inch in any case. 2. The compressive resistance of the longitudinal steel rein- forcement at fifteen times the allowed stress on concrete in direct compression. The hooping is to be designed of a strength to resist the tension due to a unit lateral pressure of one-fifteenth (1-15) the unit com- pression stress on the concrete. Splices in hooping, if required, and anchoring of same, shall develop full strength of hooping. Section 105. WIND BRACING— The provisions of this ordinance relating to Class "A" buildings shall apply to Class "B" buildings, and in addition the reinforcing of columns shall be connected so as to develop its full strength in tension. Section 106. WALLS — The exterior, party, division, court, and shaft walls of Class "B" buildings shall be of brick, reinforced con- crete, or concrete, built as provided in this ordiance relating to Class "A" buildings. Section 107. REINFORCED CONCRETE WALLS— Reinforced concrete walls shall be at least six (6) inches thick. If the area of wall surface included between any two adjacent wall columns and adjacent floor girders exceeds three hundred (300) square feet and is less than four hundred (400) square feet, the thickness of the wall shall not be less than eight (8) inches. If the area exceeds four houndred (400) square feet, the wall thickness shall not be less than twelve (12) inches, supported on the frame at each story. In reinforced concrete w^alls the area of steel reinforcement shall aggregate one-half of one per cent of the area of the concrete, and one-half shall be placed vertically and one-half horizontally. No reinforcement shall be spaced more than twenty-four (24) inches apart. Additional reinforcement shall be placed around open- ings, and all reinforcement shall be wired at each intersection. All reinforcement shall be rigidly connected at columns and girders to the steel reinforcement of the same. Reinforced concrete walls may be built in the form of bearing walls of uniform section, and of same thickness required for brick walls. If walls are built of piers and connecting walls, the piers shall be calculated and constructed as columns. The connecting wall, if built of reinforced concrete without \Yindows, may be considered as GENERAL ORDINANCES 235 self- supporting, in which case the thickness shall be six (6) inches in the upper forty feet, followed by an increase of three (3) inches in thickness for every additional forty feet height. Where such walls are pierced by openings for doors and windows, the entire loads shall be concentrated on the piers, which shall be proportioned as columns. Section 108. PARTITIONS AND CEILINGS — Partitions and ceilings shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance relating to Class "A" buildings. Section 109. CONSTRUCTION— The following conditions shall be observed in reinforced concrete construction: The concrete shall be mixed as wet as possible and deposited without causing a separation of the cement from the mixture. It shall be placed in the forms as soon as practicable after mixing, and in no case shall concrete be used which has been wet more than one hour. Joints in concrete, poured at different times, shall be made at such places as will not lessen the strength of the construction. Joints with old concrete shall be made by cleaning and roughening the old concrete and covering the same with cement grout. Forms shall be of sufficient strength to preserve their shape, and tight enough to prevent leaking of cement. All rubbish and dirt shall be carefully removed from forms. The forms for the beams and girders of a floor shall be con- structed in conjunction with the forms for the floor slabs which they support, and no forms shall be removed until all parts of the respective floors are strong enough to support themselves and the loads that may come upon them during construction. Section 110. SERVICE PIPES AND CUTTING OF CONCRETE OR REINFORCEMENT— Conduits or pipes for conveying electricity, air, or gas may be embedded in the concrete, except in columns, pro- vided they are of such size and so placed as not to weaken the structure or its fire-profing in any way. Pipes conveying liquids in any form are not to be embedded in any part of the structural concrete, except as may be necessary to pass through floors and walls. No drilling into or cutting of the fire-proofing or of the steel reinforcing spirals, hoops, stirrups, or rods in any columns or beams, for the purpose of attaching fixtures, hangers, or for any purpose which will in any way injure the concrete or reinforcing in same, is to be permitted. Section 111.
