If you need to design or construct a cofferdam, this book is a "must-have". The author shares a career's worth of experience in the design of marine cofferdams. His easy to read conversational manner is supplemented by extensive sketches and photographs. Novices will benefit by having the mysteries of cofferdams revealed, while those experienced in their design are certain to gain from H.V.'s invaluable advise and tips. Of particular value is his emphasis on "what NOT to do". He guides the reader through the design process with the consideration of loads and design details (length of sheet piles, numbers of wales and struts, etc.) using numerous examples written in engineering calc. format. This terrific book is as interesting as it is useful.

This is a wonderful book.  Our biggest selling title.  It covers the theory and history of bridges. The behavior of arches, beams, trusses, cantilevers, and suspension bridges is explained in a way that is fun and intuitive. The numerous projects, including fabricating arches, trusses, and coffer dams, are well explained. Notable bridge failures (including the Silver Bridge, the Ashtabula Bridge, and Tacoma Narrows) are covered as are the contributions of men like Ellet, the Roeblings, Whipple and Ammann.
