Descrição do livro

Minutes Of Proceedings Of The Institution Of Civil Engineers presents a mid-1860s proceedings volume, recording two major papers from the Session 1863–64: a coastal survey of the English East Coast and a Mont Cenis Tunnel report on mechanized tunneling. The East Coast paper surveys coastal dynamics from Dover to the Wash, detailing shingle belts, dunes, cliff retreat, and long-term shoreline history with maps and Admiralty/Cotton references. It discusses harbours, groynes, sea walls, and breakwaters, the balance of erosion and protection, and the interpretation of shingle origins and littoral transport, weighing Astronomer Royal’s theory against field observations. Practical implications for placing new works and maintaining navigation channels are emphasized, along with field data from observers such as Redman, Gregory, Murray, and others and illustrative plates. The Mont Cenis section describes a 7-mile Alpine tunnel using Sommeiller’s compressed-air machinery, with two ends (Modane and Bardonneche), ventilation, pressure, and rock-breaking sequences; tunnel geometry, elevations, progress rates, machine counts, and cost considerations. The volume also includes ancillary material: artesian-well boring technologies, memorial biographies of engineers, and an index. The discourse reflects Victorian, data-driven engineering debating theory, measurement, and large-scale infrastructure.
