Tests of concrete and reinforced concrete wall footings . ion fairures they are notas effective for this purpose as turned up corrugated bars. Increasing the length of the footing decreases the strengthof the piece for the same per cent of reinforcement. The compari-son is not strictly accurate as a different spacing of the springswas used in the longer test pieces. From this series of tests the following values are safeworking stresses to be used in the design of footings: Tension in plain concrete, extreme fiber, 1-3-6 nn 45 lb. per sq. in. Tension in plain concrete, extreme fiber, 1 - 2 - 4
