Description:Excerpt from Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies, Vol. 44: Contents and Index; January to June, 1910 I DO not suppose there is any one man in this Commonwealth who has dammed the Charles River as many times as I have. For ten years we have been at work on this river, on the West Boston Bridge and the Charles River dam and embankment, and in this time we have very Often dammed the river because the tide came too high' or not high enough, too low or not low enough; so when the problem arose Of making a real dam, we tackled the proposition with a good lot Of experience behind us. In every proposition Of building a dam the most difficult problem outside Of the cofferdams is how to handle the ow Of the river or tide in the final closure Of the cofferdam, which will first raise the water level to its proposed new grade. Generally a canal opening, being built first, will handle the regular ow, and then the permanent structure is built out from both Sides behind cofferdams to the extent possible, considering the minimum water way to be left open for final Closure. A customary way Of making this final Closure is to oat a crib into the gap and Sink it into place with stones, then by sheeting or earth fill making it water tight. This crib in, the final gap in the main dam can then be Closed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
