Description
Jetty System Explained is a technical book written by James Buchanan Eads in 1874. Eads, an American engineer and inventor, is best known for his work on the Mississippi River, where he designed and built several jetties to improve navigation and prevent the river from changing course. In this book, Eads explains in detail the principles and methods behind his jetty system, which involves constructing parallel walls of stone or concrete along the riverbank to narrow the channel and increase the velocity of the water. This, in turn, helps to scour the riverbed and maintain a deeper, more stable channel for ships to navigate.The book includes detailed drawings and diagrams to illustrate the construction and operation of the jetties, as well as case studies of their successful implementation on the Mississippi River and other waterways around the world. Eads also discusses the economic benefits of his system, including increased trade and reduced transportation costs.Overall, Jetty System Explained is a valuable resource for engineers, scientists, and anyone interested in the history and technology of river navigation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
