Section 10. The City Council, among other things, shall have power: First — To fix the place of its meetings and the time for calling same to order, and to judge of the qualifications and election of its own members. Second — To make and pass all ordinances, resolutions, and orders, not repugnant to the Constitution of the United States, or of the State of Nevada, or to the provisions of this charter, necessary for the municipal government and the management of the city affairs, for the execution of all the powers vested in said city, and for making effective the provisions of this charter, and to cause to be compiled from time to time, not to ex- ceed once in every two years, the charter and its amendments, and the ordinances of the city of Reno in book or pamphlet form, of which not less than two hundred (200) copies shall be issued for general distribution within said city, at a reasonable price, in which said compilation the ordi- nances of the said city once passed and published or posted as provided in 14 CHARTER Section 7 of this article may be repealed, revised, amended, and validated without further publication.

Such part of the expenses of improving any streets, lanes, avenues, or alleys by grad- ing, paving, graveling, curbing, constructing sidewalks, or otherwise improv- ing 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 dis- trict, or the said cost, or a portion thereof, as the City Council shall deter- mine may be defrayed by special assesments 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 Council shall determine to make any public improvements, such as laying pavements, constructing sewers, drains or sidewalks and curbing, macadamizing, oiling, graveling, or grading any street or alleys, or in any way improving the same, and defrays 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 improvements, such part of the expense of such improve- ment as in the opinion of the City Council, or assessor making such special assessment would be justly apportionable to such public grounds, buildings, and city property, and to any interior, squares, or spaces formed by the CHARTER 15 intersection of streets where they are taxable, shall be paid from the gen- eral 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 improvement, then upon all land included in such special assessment, in proportion to the estimated benefits resulting thereto from the improvement. When such assessment is to be made upon lots in pro- portion to their frontage upon the improvement, if from the shape or size of any lot, the assessment thereon in proportion to its frontage would be unjust and disproportionate to the assessment upon other lots, the City Council, or assessor making the assessments, may assess such lots 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 there- for, viz., for city hall and other public buildings for the use of the city, officers, engine houses and structures 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 improvements may 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 de- termine to make any public improvement or repairs, in the laying of pave- ments, 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 im- provement 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, 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 assessment is to be made according to benefits they shall by apt description designate the district, if a special district is set apart therein, including the lands to be so assessed; or in case there is no district so set apart they shall describe definitely the location of the improvement 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 ordinances 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 repairs 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 the proposed improvement or work and of the location of the improvement and of the dis- trict to be assessed, by publication for two weeks at least in one of the news- papers 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 postoffice of said city, and three notices near the site of the proposed work 16 CHARTER 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 therefor, no such improvement or work shall be ordered except by the concurrence of two- thirds of all 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 author- ized 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 de- frayed 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 im- provement 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 improvement 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 preventing the City Council from advertis- ing for proposals for doing the wofk whenever they see fit; provided, the contract shall not be made or awarded before the time herein stated. When any special assessment is to be made pro rata upon the lots or premises in any special assessment district, according to frontage or benefits, the City Council 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 ueed not necessarily be governed by the estimates of such improvement provided for herein, but the City Council may decide upon such other sum, within the limitations described, as they may deem neces- sary to cover the cost of such improvement. Upon receiving such order and directions the City Assessor shall make out an assessment roll, entering and describing 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 improperly designated as the owner of any lot or premises, or if the 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 or land, or premises, and collected as. in other cases. If the assessment is required to be according to the frontage, the City Assessor shall assess each lot CHARTER 17 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 accord- ing to benefits, the city assessor shall assess upon each lot such relative portion of the whole sum to be levied as shall be proportionate to the esti T mated benefit resulting to such lot from the improvement. When the assessor shall have completed the assessment he shall report the same to the city council. Such reports shall be signed by him and made in the torm of a certificate and endorsed 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 directions 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 pro- visions of this act, the city council is authorized to charge and collect a special assessment against the same, and not being of that class of special assessment 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 the description of the lot or premises upon or in respect to which the expense was incurred, or the name of the owner or person, 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 contemplated 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 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 determined, and the several lots or prem- ises and the persons chargeable 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 assess- ment 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 aforesaid 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 13 CHARTER reported by the city assessor to the city council as in this section and sub- division 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 newspaper of the city of 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 in this subdivision may be addressed to the persons 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 name of the persons against whom the assessment 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 room in said city on (insert the date fixed upon), to review said assessment, 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 assessments which may be made by any person deeming himself aggrieved thereby, and shall decide the same; and the city council may correct the same as to any assessment or description of the premises, appearing therein, and may con- firm it as reported or as corrected, or they may refer the assessment back to the city assessor for revision; or annul it and direct a new assessment: in which case the same proceedings shall be had as in respect to the previous assessment. When a special assessment shall be confirmed the city clerk shall make an endorsement upon the roll showing the date of confirmation which shall be in the following words: “Special assessment roll for (de- scribing fully what the assessment is for), as approved 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 confirmation, and of the date thereof. The county auditor, acting ex officio city 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 record- ing, 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 CHARTER 19 regularity of all proceedings preliminary to the making thereof and of the validity of said assessment and assessment roll. All special assessments shall, from the date of recording thereof, con- stitute a lien upon the respective lots or parcels of land assessed, and shall be charged against the persons and properties until paid. Upon the confir- mation and recording of any assessment, the amount thereof may be divided into not more than ten installments, one of which installments to be col- lected yearly, or the entire amount thereof to be collected at once, 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 collection 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 whenever 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, respectively, 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 several parts of lands so divided. The report of such apportionment when confirmed shall be con- clusive on all the parties, and all assessments thereafter made upon such lots or lands shall be according to such subdivisions. Should any special assessment prove insufficient to pay for the im- provement of 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 pro- ceedings, 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 assessment to be made for the same purpose for which the former assessment was made. All of the pro- ceedings for such reassessment and for the collection thereof shall be con- ducted 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 spe- cial 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 pay- able, and the city council desires to have the same paid in annual install- ments, or the entire amount thereof to be paid at once, as hereinbefore pro- vided, 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 20 CHARTER in said roll, with the amount of the assessment levied upon each, or the amount of the annual installment with the interest added, or the entire amount thereof to be paid at once, 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 ex- tended, 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 Reno from collecting any special assessment by suit in the name of the city of Reno in the manner in this subdivision before contained, and the said special assessment roll and the certified resolution confirming it, as recorded, shall be prima facie evidence of the regularity of the proceed- ings in making the assessment and of the right of the city to recover judge- ment therefor. If in any action for the collection of any assessment it shall appear by reason of any irregularity or informality that the assessment 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- 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.

Section 99. Special Provisions Relating To the Construction of Class “B” Buildings. — Class “B” buildings shall have a complete frame of columns, girders, and beams made of reinforced concrete with masonry walls, and the structural parts of floors and roof constructed of reinforced concrete. Steel roof trusses, constructed 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 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 com- pressive strength, but not to exceed seven hundred (700) pounds in any case. In compression in outer fibre in cross-bending, one-fourth of the ulti- GENERAL ORDINANCES 183 mate compressive strength, but not to exceed five hundred (500) pounds m a” 7 [„s e sh ear, 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. 4 , . . , * 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 (luU; 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.^ following a n owa bl e 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 compression in the concrete. ^ 1 . 1t , , . The ratio of the moduli of elastricity of concrete to steel shall be taken as one to fifteen. Section 101. Design In General— The bending moments due to uni- formly 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 directions 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 (a) The bond between the concrete and steel is sufficient to made the two materials act together as a homogeneous solid. (b) The strain in any fibre is directly proportionate to the distance 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 girder 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 com- pression, 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 reinforced with metal. Reinforced concrete construction shall be designed so that the shearing stresses, both vertical and horizontal, developed in any part of the con- struction, 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 184 GENERAL ORDINANCES 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 maximum 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 (J4) of an inch. For columns and beams, not less than two (2) inches. For foundations, not less than (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 sufficient 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 re- inforced 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 protection. Section 103. Floor and Roof Slabs. — The general provision as to de- sign shall hold for floor and roof slabs, which shall be of reinforced con- crete. No floor slab shall be less than three and one-half (3^£) 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, may 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 members are carrying twice their calculated loads; and in no case shall the area of metal provided for con- tinuity be less than seventy-five (75) per cent of the area of metal allowed for tension in the bottom flange. Continuity or separate reinforcing material may be used in the top of the slab. In either case, however, if a part of the slab is considered as part GENERAL ORDINANCES 185 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) inches. In computing the strength of columns, the two inches of concrete near- est the surface shall be deducted from the area of concrete. In columns subjected to cross-bending, the unit stresses from combined loading 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 dis- tance 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 be enclosed in said re- inforcement or otherwise reinforced as herein provided. Vertical reinforcing members which are considered in compression 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 plates shall be provided at the bottom of columns to distribute the column loads over the footings. The allowed stresses in columns shall not exceed one-fifth of the ulti- mate resistance to direct compression per square inch on the concrete, 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 minimum dis- tance apart of the hoops, or the pitch of helix does not exceed one-tenth of the diameter of the hooped or helical cvlinder, 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 ulti- mate 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 reinforcement at fifty 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 compression 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 concrete, or con- crete, built as provided in this ordinance 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 186 GENERAL ORDINANCES feet, the thickness of the wall shall not be less than eight (8) inches. If the area exceeds four hundred (400) square feet, the wall thickness shall not be less than twelve (12) inches, supported on the frame at each story. In reinforced concrete walls the area of steel reinforcement shall aggre- gate 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 openings, and all reinforcements shall be wired at each intersection. All reinforcements 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 calcu- lated and constructed as columns.
