Project Gutenberg 2006-02-16 Public domain in the USA. 94 Klapp, Eugene Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, vol. LXX, Dec. 1910 Reinforced Concrete Pier Construction 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 scholarly publication edited and contributed to by various members of the American Society of Civil Engineers. This volume, typical of early 20th-century engineering journals, primarily focuses on technical discussions and peer-reviewed papers related to civil engineering advancements. In this particular edition, the central topic is reinforced concrete pier construction, highlighting innovative methods and technologies utilized in the design and building of maritime structures. The featured paper by Eugene Klapp details the construction of a yacht pier near Glen Cove, Long Island, specifically emphasizing the use of reinforced concrete caissons. Addressing a unique engineering challenge, the paper outlines the requirements for a durable and aesthetic pier that can withstand the conditions of Long Island Sound. Klapp discusses various design considerations, materials used, and methods of construction, including the innovative approach of casting concrete structures on land and launching them into the water. The paper also touches upon challenges faced during the construction process and responses to those challenges, illustrating the practical application of engineering principles to real-world projects. Overall, this publication serves as a record of engineering practices and advancements in that era, providing valuable insights for modern civil engineering.
