Excerpt from New Theorems, Tables, and Diagrams, for the Computation of Earth-Work: Designed for the Use of Engineers in Preliminary and Final Estimates, of Students in Engineering, and of Contractors and Other Non-Professional Computers, In Two Parts, With an Appendix, Part I. A Practical Treatise, Part II. A Theoretical TreatiseThe main object of this work is to present both a theoretical and practical solution of some of the most important problems of earth-work. The rules given are, however, applicable to other computations of solidity for solids having the same form as those of earth-work, but cubic yards must be converted into other measure when required.It will doubtless be conceded that there is yet room for improvement in the theory of our subject, and that previous treatises do not satisfy the wants of computers, is evident from the demand so constantly heard for something practical. This indicates that a system is yet desired which, though sufficient for the ordinary practice of engineering, does not require of the computer either unusual mathematical know ledge or extraordinary patience.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
