What reading level is Treatise On Civil Engineering book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In using horizontal buttresses, the stone of which they are constructed should be dressed with care ; their extremities near the wall of piles should be connected by horizontal arches (Fig. 44), to distribute the pressure more uniformly ; and where there is an upward pressure of the soil around the structure, arising from its weight, the buttresses ought to be in the form of reversed arches.
In buttresses of this kind, as likewise in broad areas resting on a very yielding soil, since as much da...nger is to be appre- hended from their breaking by their own weight as from any other cause, it must be carefully guarded against. Something may be done for this purpose by ramming the earth around the structure with a heavy beetle, when it can be made more compact by this means ; or else a part of the upper soil may be removed, and be replaced by one of a more compact nature which may be rammed in layers.
Pig. 44 represents the manner of jt*svent> ing a sustaining wall from yielding later- ally to a thrust behind it, by using hori- zontal buttresses of reversed arches abut- ting against vertical counter-arches.
