CONCRETE WALLS. 



Will you please tell how thick I will 

 have to build a concrete wall in my 

 boiler pit. The pit is 16x25 and eight 

 feet deep? The material to be used is 

 coarse river sand and cement. The pit 

 will be without drainage, so will have to 

 be heavy enough to stand the water pres- 

 sure. Also please state the proportion 

 of cement. J. H. H. 



The thickness of the walls will depend 

 somewhat on the surrounding soil. If 

 you have good, firm clay, then six inches 

 would be thick enough, but for walls 

 eight feet high eight inches thick is 

 better. I can inform you now that it is 

 much easier to make a cistern and keep 

 water in than it is to keep water out 

 and you will almost certainly be bothered 

 with water. Let the floor of the pit dip 

 slightly to one corner farthest from 

 where you intend placing your heater or 

 boiler. There make a small pit, say 

 twelve inches square and twelve inches 

 deep, so that you can if necessary pump 

 the stoke hole dry. If you are to use hot 

 water you are wise to go down deep, but 

 it would be money well spent to sewer 

 the pit if it can be done withou); too 

 much expense. If your heating system 

 is to be steam you need not go down in 

 the ground one inch. 



Procure good quality of cement and 

 use one part cement to three of sand. 

 "When this is mixed dry and then again 

 mix with water, add another three parts 

 of crushed stone or coarse gravel from 

 which the sand has been sifted. No 

 matter whether the crushed stone is in 

 pieces the size of a walnut or the size 

 of your fist, they will only add bulk to 

 the concrete and not in the least lessen 

 the strength of the wall. W. S.
