Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the topic of foundations in compressible soils and utilizes experimental tests to derive formulas for resistance. The author compiles memoirs from field tests and case studies of pile-driving experiments, as well as formulas for resistance deduced from experience. The book further examines various foundation systems including hollow iron cylinders sunk by atmospheric pressure, pile foundations, and foundations that combine pile foundations and caissons. The book also considers the compressibility of different soils and offers formulas for calculating the bearing weight of piles. This book is an invaluable resource for engineers involved in foundation design and construction in compressible soils. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of court documents relating to the dismissal of Patrice de Janon, a professor at the United States Military Academy at West Point. The author, Patrice de Janon, was a Spanish professor at West Point for over six years and was summarily dismissed from his position in 1863 without complaint or reason. This book is his response to the report made to President Lincoln by General Richard Delafield, which attempted to justify de Janon's dismissal on the grounds of incompetence. De Janon provides evidence of his competency as a Spanish professor, including testimonials from respected Spanish scholars. He also argues that the report against him was based on false and biased information, and that he was never given a fair hearing. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the United States Military Academy in the 19th century, and sheds light on the challenges faced by immigrants and minorities in the United States during that time. It is also a powerful reminder of the importance of due process and fair treatment under the law.
