Excerpt from Bridge Foundations, Vol. 19

The book is intended only as an introduction to the subject Of bridge foundations, and has been written in the scant leisure of ordinary business. There is room for a careful and com prehensive work on bridge foundations. The best books known to me are American, and they leave something to be desired by British engineers. Much might be done towards standardizing the practice in design, as regards both the determination of loads and the allow able pressures on beds. There is not even a uniform nomenclature for bed materials.
