What reading level is The Construction of the Panama Canal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was decided primarily to build the lock walls in monoliths 36 feet long, i. E. , to complete the wall for that length from bottom to top and design forms that would box in that length of wall. This decision led to the adoption of duplex instead of single cableways. A tower carrying two cable- ways eighteen feet apart could be so placed with respect to a form 36 feet long that any concrete delivered would not be more than 9 feet from its final destination. And it was thought that by using wet... concrete it would flow to place and that no rehandling would be necessary and that a monolith in each wall could be built with the cable- way towers in one position. No such massive walls of concrete had been built as those designed for the locks of the Panama Canal, and the forms at Gatun met this unusual and exacting condition in a new way. Of course the type of construction plant was also a material factor in the design of forms.
218 GATUN EXCAVATION AND CONCRETE WORK The wall form adopted was a steel box that could be knocked down and set up easily.
