Description:Excerpt from Journal of the Boston Society of Civil Engineers, 1914, Vol. 1An interesting development of the decade was the revision of the building law which was enacted in 1907. It will be recalled that in 1903 we were hampered by certain provisions of the old law, particularly that requiring the capping of piles with block granite levelers and that allowing no reduction of live loads in foundations of buildings: The revision of the law brought about modifications in both these provisions. It is significant, however, of the continual progress of engineering science, that the law of 1907 is now' behind the times in many respects and sadly needs further amendments. The Changes now most needed from the engineering point of view are in the provisions with regard to the use of concrete, as it is in the use of this material that most rapid changes are taking place. It was suggested in the discussion of the earlier paper that action by our Society might produce beneficial results with regard to the law, and it may not be out of place now to suggest that if we should take the initiative we might obtain improvements which would be of great service to the community. This matter, however, is apart from the main subject.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
