About this book
Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Vol. LXX, December 1910: Federal Investigations of Mine Accidents, Structural Materials and Fuels. Paper No. 1171 is a comprehensive and authoritative document that captures the state of civil engineering research and practice in the early twentieth century, with a particular focus on the federal government's role in advancing safety and efficiency in the mining and materials industries. This volume presents a detailed account of the investigations conducted by the United States government into the causes and prevention of mine accidents, the properties and testing of structural materials, and the study of fuels essential to industrial progress. The paper meticulously documents the efforts of the U.S. Bureau of Mines and other federal agencies in gathering data, conducting experiments, and formulating recommendations to improve mine safety and reduce the frequency and severity of mining disasters. It explores the technological advancements and scientific methods employed in the analysis of mine explosions, ventilation systems, and the behavior of gases and dust in underground environments. The report also delves into the development and standardization of testing procedures for structural materials such as steel, concrete, and timber, highlighting the importance of reliable materials in the construction of safe and durable infrastructure. In addition to mine safety and structural materials, the volume addresses the study of fuels, including coal, oil, and gas, examining their properties, extraction methods, and utilization in various industrial applications. The paper discusses the economic and environmental implications of fuel use, as well as the ongoing search for more efficient and sustainable energy sources. Richly illustrated with tables, diagrams, and technical data, this volume serves as an invaluable resource for engineers, researchers, policymakers, and historians interested in the evolution of civil engineering practices and the federal government's pivotal role in promoting public safety and technological innovation. The discussions and findings presented in this work reflect the collaborative spirit of the engineering community and its commitment to addressing the challenges of a rapidly industrializing nation.
