About This Book
An engineering thesis proposes a practical steel freight warehouse for New Orleans, arguing that steel offers greater durability, flexibility, and economy than timber for large dockside buildings. It discusses foundations for waterlogged soils, roof and siding choices, skylights and side windows for light and ventilation, single versus two-story layouts, door spacing, and dimensional limits for efficient handling. The work surveys contemporary warehouse examples and gives detailed recommendations on structural members, piling, and plan arrangement.
