Excerpt from Ordinary Foundations: Including the Coffer-Dam Process for Piers; With Numerous Practical Examples From Actual Work
The necessity for a second edition of this book has made it possible to make valuable additions to the text, by which the subject of ordinary foundations is more comprehensively covered. The construction of pie-is by the use of metal cylinders; with timber caisson's by open dredging; and the construction Of ordinary sized foundations by the use of pneumatic caissons, has furnished another chapter. A chapter has been added on the subject of foundations, which covers the bearing capacity of soils.
The new chapter on building stone, masonry, and the design of piers is intended to supplement the Old chapter on the Loca tion and Design of Piers.
Enough new matter has been added 011 cement and concrete to form an additional chapter, which includes valuable tables giving-the amount of material required for concrete of different proportions.
The building of piers of timber and pile bents, together with the subject Of timber preservation, has been discussed in a final chapter, as fully as a general knowledge requires.
