Présentation de l'éditeur
Tl%65 A REINFOHCED COBCRKTK ORE DOCK The author became interested in the design of ore docks while employed as draftsman in the office of the Chief Engineer of the Canadian Northern Railway at Duluth, Minn During the siuomer of 1910 the Company made calculations in regard to the cost and design of a dock which they expected to construct the next yeari and the author resolved then to loake a study of the subject. He went back to the University in the fall of 1910, and took with him all the data at hand in regard to the conditions for which the dock was to be designed. PinanciaJ. embarrassment made it necessary for him to do outside work during the school year and also to accept a position six weeks before the end of the term, with the result that the thesis which he endeavored to write upon the subject was not finished in the spring of 1911. He has written it almost entirely during his evenings at home since that time. In all he has put 380 hours upon the work of designing, detailing and tracing, and in the space allotted he is only able to show a few of the principal calculations which were made in determining the size and style of the many details which are shown on the plans.
