THIS book first appeared in 1898 under the title “The Coffer-Dam Process for Piers.” The title was altered in 1904 to “Ordinary Foundations, including the Coffer-Dam Process for Piers”. The work now presented under the title given above contains a large amount of new matter, consisting of practical examples of work, much of which has been constructed by the author, or with which he has come in intimate contact in a consulting capacity. Among the new subjects treated may be noted concrete piles, the jetting of piers, metal sheet-piling, the open-dredging process, caisson work and caisson disease, diving, the bearing power of soils.
