A Treatise On The Principles And Practice Of Dock Engineering

ENGINEERING AND MECHANIGS. 27 At Pbess. In Large 8vo. Handsome Cloth. With Copions Plates and Illustrations. The Principles and Practice of DOCK ENGINEERING. By BRYSSON CUNNINGHAM, B.E., Assoc.M.Inst.C.E., Of the Engineers’ Department, Mersey Docks and Harbour Board. GENERAL CONTENTS. Historical and Discursive.— Dock Design.— Consti nctive Appliances.— Materials. — Dock and Quay Walls. — Entrance Passages and Lecks. — Jetties, Wharves, and Piers. — Dock Gates and Caissons.—Transit Sheds and Warehouses. — Dock Bridges. — Graving and Bepairing Docks. — Working Equipment of Docks. — Index. *** The object of the Author bas been to deal fully and comprehensively with the problems arising out of the construction and maintenance of Docks and their appanages, not simply as a record of works carried out, but as a treatise on the principles under- lying their construction and an investigation of the mathematical theories involved. It is primarily intended for the student; but it is hoped that the large amount of data and material collected from valions sources, and in many cases contributed specially for this book, will render it useful to the expert engineer as a work of reference; while, at the same time, of general interest to directors and others connected with the man- agement and administration of seaports. Third Edition. In Two Parts, Published Separately. A TEXT-BOOK OF Engineering Drawing and Design Vol. I.—Practical Geometry, Plane, and Solid. 3s. Vol. II.—Machine and Engine Drawing and Design. 4s. 6d. BY SIDNEY H. WELLS, Wh.Sc., A.M.INST.C.E., A.M.INST.MECH.E., Principal of the Battersea Polytechnic Institute, and Head of the Engineering Department therein ; formeriy of the Engineering Departments of the Yorkshire Coliege, Leeds; and Dulwich College, London. With many Illustrations, specially prepared for the Work, and numerous Uxamples, for the Use of Students in Technical Schools and Colleges. “ A capital Text-Book, arranged on an excellent system, calculated to give an intelligent grasp of the subject, and not the mere faculty of mechanical copying. . . . Mr. Wells shows how to make complets working-drawings, discussing fully each step in the design.”—Electrical Review “ The first book leads babily and naturally towards the second, where the Technical pupil is brought into contact with large and more complex designs."—TÄe Schoolmaster.
