Synopsis
Excerpt from Extracts From Reports Upon Technical Details of Engineering Works, 1906, Vol. 23
In another battery, where expansion cracks had formed in the loading platform and caused leaks in the galleries beneath. Half-inch expansion joints were formed 10 feet apart and filled with the elastic Staso compound, and the smaller intermediate cracks were filled with the non-elastic glycerine and litharge cement. This was also fairly successful. This cement bonds strongly with the concrete.
Coal tar pitch applied with a brush while melted was also tried success fully on the top of the traverses, in the same manner as in the New York district. The black color of the coal tar pitch and the red color of the Staso are disadvantageous, in making the superior Slopes more conspicuous as seen from the sea.
