PREFACE. THE preparation of this book was epn several years ago, j hen much of the subject-matter treated was not to be found in print, or was scattered through many. books and pamphlets, and ITas Ilei ce unavailable for student use. Portions of the book have already been printed by the mimeograph process or have been used as lecture-notes, and hence have been subjected to the refilling process of classroom use. The author would call special attention to the following features a. Transition curves the multiform-componnd-cnrre method isused, which has been followed by many railroads in this country the particular curves here developed have the great advantage of being exceedingly simple, and although the method is not theuretically exact, it is demonstrable that tlie differences are so sinall tl ath ey may safely be neglected. b. h system of earthwork complitations by means of a sliderule which accompanies tlie volurne which enables one to compute readily tlie volume of the niost complicated earthwork forms itli an accuracy only limited by the pl ecision of the cross-sectioning. c. The mass curve in earthwork the theory and use of this very valuable process. tl. Tables I, 11, 111, and IV hare been co nputed a6 nmo. Tables I and I1 were cliecked after compntation with other tables, which are generally considered as standard, and all discrepancies were further examined. They are believed to be perfect. iii PREFA CE. e. Tables V, VI, VII, and IT have been borrowed, by yermission, from Ludlows Mathelnatical Tables. It is believed that five-place tables give as accurate results as actual field practice requires. Tables V111 and X hare been compiled to conform with Ludlows system. The author wishes to acknowledge liis indebtedness to Mr. Chas. A. Sims, civil engineer and railrod contractor, for reading and revising the portions relating to the cost of eartllwork. Since the book is written primarily for students of railroad engineering in technical institutions, t l eau thor has assumed the nsnal previous preparation in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.
