Synopsis

Excerpt from Coast Erosion and Protection

This volume it is hoped will prove a useful contribution to the important branch of Civil Engineering known as Maritime Engineering. It gives a résumé of the erosion and accretion that is taking place around the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland, and treats comprehensively of all forms of sea-defences, the merits and demerits of each type being fully discussed. Special consideration is given to methods of construction in reinforced concrete and comparisons of costs are stated. The action of sea water on concrete is a matter of such great importance that the author has carried o'ut numerous experiments with a view to preventing as far as possible the destruction taking place, and the results are set out herein. The action of fresh water is similarly dealt with, and careful considera tion is given to the quality of materials and to preserva tives against decay and corrosion The important subject of Harbour Projections and their effect upon the travel of sand and shingle is briefly referred to.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
