To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Two of the terra cotta block columns, No. 6 and No. 7, had a gradually increasing load applied and released in succession. Of the brick columns, 14 were tested with concentric load and 2 with the load applied eccentrically. In the test of No. 60 (shale brick, 1-3 mor- tar, age at test 6 months) failure was finally produced by repeating the maximum load a number of times. In several cases when failure occurred at or near the top of the column enough of the top was removed so that the remaining p...ortion contained no cracks, a bearing plate was placed in mortar on the top, and the resulting short column afterward tested. The results of these tests do not differ greatly from those of the original columns. The slight increase in compressive strength may be accredited to the increase in the strength of the mortar during the interval. All the tests were made in the 600 000-lb. Riehle vertical screw testing machine in the Laboratory of Applied Mechanics of the University of Illinois. The machine head moved at the rate of 0.
