Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive exploration of the history and practice of dock construction, a vital component of maritime infrastructure that has played a crucial role in the development of global trade. The author, drawing upon decades of personal observation and experience, as well as the collected expertise of leading engineers in the field, provides a detailed look at the evolution of dock design and construction techniques. From early tidal basins to elaborate wet docks and dry docks, the book examines the factors that influence dock siting, including the range of tides, the nature of the seafloor, and the prevailing winds. It also delves into the practical challenges and solutions associated with constructing dams, foundations, and quay walls, as well as the essential elements of dock equipment, including gates, caissons, pumping systems, and dredging methods. The book's insights into the intricacies of dock construction provide a valuable historical perspective on a field that continues to evolve in response to the changing demands of maritime commerce.

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.
