Project Gutenberg 2006-02-16 Public domain in the USA. 142 Gregory, W. B. (William Benjamin) 1871 1945 Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, vol. LXX, Dec. 1910 Tests of Creosoted Timber, Paper No. 1168 Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Sigal Alon and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, vol. LXX, Dec. 1910" is a scientific publication that was likely written in the early 20th century. This volume contains detailed analyses and research findings related to civil engineering practices, specifically addressing the testing of creosoted timber and its effects over time. The focus of this publication is on the material properties of treated timber, which is crucial for engineers involved in the design and construction of wooden structures. The primary study within this volume, authored by W. B. Gregory, investigates the performance of southern pine stringers that had been exposed to heavy train service for a period of 26 years. The author conducts tests to evaluate the condition of the timber and its resistance to decay under the challenging environmental conditions of New Orleans. The results indicate that despite high humidity and rainfall, the creosoted timber showed no signs of decay. The publication includes comprehensive testing methodologies, detailed results, and comparative findings concerning the treated and untreated timber, ultimately demonstrating the effectiveness of creosote as a preservative that maintains timber integrity over prolonged periods.
