Book Description
Excerpt from High Masonry Dam Design It is the practice at Columbia University to require of the third-year students in the Department of Civil Engineering, the execution of the design of a masonry dam, and to aid them in this problem they have heretofore been furnished with "Notes on the Theory and Design of High Masonry Dams," prepared some years ago by Prof. Burr of the Department, and having for their basis the method as set forth by Mr. Edward Wegmann. This procedure with which Wegmann is credited, and which was developed through the investigations undertaken in connection with the Aqueduct Commission of the city of New York, for the purpose of determining a correct cross-section for the Quaker Bridge dam, resulted in the first direct method for calculating the cross-section of such structures and is essentially a development of the Rankine theory. The studies appeared first in the report made by Mr. A. Fteley to the chief engineer of the Aqueduct Commission of the city of New York, dated July 25, 1887, and later in Mr. Wegmann's treatise on "The Design and Construction of Dams."

Book Description
Excerpt from Masonry Dam Design: Including High Masonry DamsIn this revision the authors have attempted to amplify some of the features which, in the earlier edition, were little more than touched upon. Chapters on the Overfall and Arched types of masonry dams have been added, together with cross-sections of a selected series of masonry dams chronologically arranged. The last are for the purpose of comparison and showing the development of the masonry dam from the time of the massive Spanish type to the present.The design of low and medium-sized as well as that of high-masonry dams, may be prosecuted according to the theory and methods in this work, as general expressions have been written wherever possible. It was considered best to indicate this in the title while the original page captions remain the same.The authors are indebted to Miss Bessie N. MacDonald, A.B., for assistance in verifying the more difficult mathematical derivations for the Arched Dam. Acknowledgment is also made to Mr. Alfred D. Flinn, Member American Society of Civil Engineers, who had kindly furnished one of the authors with a set of cross-sections of dams, a number of which are shown in the series in Appendix III.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
