What reading level is Washington Monument Monograph book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Duane, and General Q. A. Gillmore, ap- pointed to examine and report upon the stability of the foundation, the soil on which the structure stands would be compressed three-sixteenths of an inch by the weight of the proposed height of this design, if the pressure was purely a perpendicular one ; but when there is a heavy wind-storm the pressure upon one side of the shaft pro- duces too great a weight upon the soil under the opposite side. While it was from choice, for harmony of design, that the... base of the Monument is made in three pyramidi- cal terraces, it at the same time gives an opportunity to so brace the shaft as to make it perfectly safe, as the buttresses of the steps to the first terrace are continued to the face of the shaft, forming two strong buttress walls on each side, I 20 feet long and 74 feet high above the ground next to the shaft; in addition to this the covering of each terrace forms a horizontal flange, which has a tendency to still fur- ther strengthen the whole work, and the shaft is firmly supported as if in a socket, so that it could only settle per- pendicularly, and that but slightly ; still, any possible con- tingency can be avoided by building the re-enforcement wall, as proposed in the recent report of the Board of Offi- cers of the Engineeer Corps, and a large portion of the expense of it would be utilized, as it would form the foun- dation for the face wall to the third terrace.
