Steel and wood vessels (says Shipping and Engineering) are found to deteriorats immediately from the day that they are built, unless very carefully protected by means of paint or other materials, but with regard to concrete, it takes about fifteen... years for this material to attain its maximum strength and hardness. and this increase also decreases the stresses of the steel. Concrete is absolute presary- ative of steel, more especially when it is surrounded with water and not subjected to the influence of air. In constructing r inforced concrete, the weight of the hull"? must of necessity be very much heavier than where either steel,
