Two Reinforced Concrete Coal Pockets
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 71, Issue 1
Abstract
The type of coal-pocket construction used in New York City by retail coal dealers has, until lately, consisted of a timber structure supported on brick walls, or on wooden posts. These pockets have wooden bottoms and sides, and are arranged so that coal teams and carts can be driven below and filled promptly by opening a chute in the bottom of the bin. On account of the fire risks connected with such structures, and perhaps even more on account of the rapid deterioration of the timber and the difficulty of making repairs, a number of reinforced concrete pockets have lately been constructed. This paper describes two pockets of this kind built during the past year.
