"It is our recommendation that we carry 30% of insurable value on all fire-resistive AAA construction, that we carry 50% of value on ordinary construction other than sprinklered, and that we carry 90% on the sprinklered construction, the 90% on the sprinklered buildings being required by insurance regulations"
"_ -- The various structural forms into which concrete and reinforced concrete may be assembled for use in public-building construction, are undergoing investigative tests as to their compressive and tensile strength, resistance to shearing, modulus of elasticity, coefficient of expansion, fire-resistive qualities, etc."
"Investigations are being made into the effects of fire and the rate of conductivity of heat on concrete and reinforced concrete, brick, tile, building stone, etc., as a guide to the use of the most suitable materials for fire-proof building construction and the proper dimensioning of fire-resistive coverings."
