Heavy-weight concrete stabilizes tower frames
Concrete weighing 290 lb per cu ft was used to stabilize towers at 59th St power plant in New York City; two towers, 107 and 165 ft high, for carrying 36 in. coal conveyor belts are designed for large overturning force; as only structural function of heavy concrete was to transfer its weight to stabilize towers, minimum cylinder strength of 2000 psi was sufficient; concrete mix and cost data are presented.
