Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Foundations: Explaining Fully the Principles Involved, With Descriptions of All of the Most Recent Structures, Accompanied by Numerous Drawings; Also an Accurate Record of the Bearing Resistances of Materials Asdetermined From the Loads of Actual Structures

IN the second edition of this book the first is enlarged by the addition of pages 398 - 533. The extensive use of concrete in foundations receives special notice, and would alone justify the addition.

Numerous descriptions of important modern structures are given in sufficient detail to make them understood. The index to the addition has been incorporated into the old index and the whole so revised that the numbers now refer to the pages instead of to articles and paragraphs as before.

Thanks are due the Engineering News for the free use of its cuts and columns.
