Synopsis
Excerpt from Foundations and Concrete Works: Containing a Synopsis of the Principal Cases of Foundation Works With the Usual Modes of Treatment, and Practical Remarks on Footings, Planking, Sand, Concrete, Béton, Pile-Driving, Caissons, and Cofferdams
The popularity of Mr. Dobson's four volumes on the "Art of Building;" "Principles of Brick-making and the Manufacture of Bricks and Tiles;" "On Masonry and Stone-cutting," and on "Foundations and Concrete Works," is the best test of their practical utility. There are few manuals, designed specially for the use of workmen, that have achieved greater success. In the preface to the former edition Mr. Dobson called the attention of those readers who may not have purchased the "Art of Building" to the fact of the present volume being written in continuation of the chapter in that work devoted to the subject of "Foundations," and intended to give further information on those parts of the subject which could then only be touched upon very briefly. He added, "I may also observe, that many subjects which are treated of very fully in other volumes of the Rudimentary Treatises are here for that reason left unnoticed, or are merely glanced at in a cursory manner; as, for example, the blasting of rocks, the nature and properties of limes and cements, the construction of travelling and other cranes, and of hoisting machinery in general.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the crucial yet often overlooked world of foundations, those underlying structures that ensure the stability and longevity of buildings and infrastructure. It offers a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of foundation construction, catering to both seasoned professionals and aspiring builders. The author, a respected engineer of the time, meticulously examines various foundation types and their suitability for different soil conditions, ranging from solid rock to treacherous mud and silt. He emphasizes the importance of understanding soil mechanics and the behavior of different materials under pressure, water, and exposure to the elements. The book explores historical examples of both successful and failed foundations, drawing valuable lessons from iconic structures like the Eddystone Lighthouse and the Cherbourg breakwater. It delves into the challenges posed by waterlogged soils and the ingenious methods employed to overcome them, such as cofferdams, caissons, and pile driving. Whether you're an architect, engineer, or simply curious about the hidden world beneath our feet, this book provides invaluable insights into the art and science of building stable foundations, ultimately demonstrating that a thorough understanding of foundations is essential for creating enduring structures that can withstand the test of time.
