To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If so, the first, or rather the combined timber and concrete, would be preferred. Both methods are in common use. 102. In the construction of wharves, piles are driven in rows extending well out into the water ; the distance apart of the piles and the depth to which they must be driven depending entirely on the load which they have to bear. These are cut off a few feet above the water surface, capped with square timber 10 X 12 ins. or 12 X 12 ins., upon which joists are placed at close interval...s, and on these a plank flooring of hard wood 3 ins. thick. Each pile in such cases supports an area whose sides are respectively the distance between the rows and be- tween the piles in each row — a fair average being 5 ft. each way, or an area of 25 sq. ft., as very heavy loads are often con- centrated over small areas. The proper area is, however, easily determined when the greatest load per square foot is decided upon. These piles will soon rot above the water-line, when they must be cut off, and framed bents of timber constructed on them.
