The columns, girders, beams, and floor slab were cast as a rigid mono-
lith which in itself offers considerable resistance to the bending and
shearing forces induced by wind. The depth of the girder is increased
by means of fillets or haunches at the places where the girder and its
supporting columns are joined (Fig. 3). These fillets were introduced
to provide additional strength for the high shearing stresses at the ends
25 The bearing rods vary in diameter from 33 inches in the basement to 1 inch
at the top floor. “The successive lengths are joined by means of butt joints in pipe
sleeves filled with a grout of mortar. The wind bars are 1 inch square, the 27-foot
lengths lapped 21 inches and bound together by wire. The outer hoops are spaced
12 inches center to center and the inner, 6 inches.
26 The transverse girders above the basement are 16-20 inches in width by 27
inches in depth, including the thickness of the floor slab. The basement girders
measure 20 Xx 36 inches in section, and the longitudinal girders 9-12 inches in
width by 18 inches in depth.
