Publisher's Synopsis
Jetty System Explained is a book written by James Buchanan Eads in 1874. Eads was a renowned engineer who designed and built several important structures in the United States, including the Eads Bridge over the Mississippi River. In this book, Eads explains the concept and design of the jetty system, which is a method used in coastal engineering to prevent the erosion of shorelines and maintain navigable waterways. The book provides a detailed description of the construction and operation of the jetty system, including the materials used, the placement of the jetties, and the impact on the surrounding environment. Eads also discusses the benefits of the jetty system, such as improved navigation and increased protection from storms and floods. The book is written in a technical style and includes numerous diagrams and illustrations to help readers understand the complex concepts involved in the jetty system. It is considered a significant contribution to the field of coastal engineering and is still referenced by engineers and researchers today. Overall, Jetty System Explained is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the design and construction of coastal structures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
