Theory and Practice in the Design and Construction of Dock Walls (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Theory and Practice in the Design and Construction of Dock Walls

The theoretical portion of this work is arranged in the form of a series of problems, bearing on the subject of dock walls, which, it is to be hoped, will put the engineering student in possession of most of the facts already ascertained and the deductions which have been made therefrom by mathematicians up to the present time. The information from which these problems have been compiled has been chiefly derived from the authorities hereafter mentioned.
