Abstract
In this paper the sheathing and bracing of trenches and tunnels in dry and water-bearing materials, will be treated under the general subject of bracing. In order that there may be no misunderstanding, the term “sheeting” will be used for that class of sheathing which is set in or driven coincidentally with the excavation. That class of sheathing which is driven ahead of the excavation, or beyond its final limits, will be referred to as “sheet-piling.”
