Abstract
During 1917 a large box factory was built on a bench of land adjoining the east bank of the Mississippi River, at Natchez, Miss., 75 ft. below the top of a bluff and 150 ft. above the river. The owner was not represented on the work by an engineer or building inspector. The work was carried out by an “engineering contractor” on a cost-plus-fee contract. Following the completion of the plant, settlement occurred in the foundations under practically all the buildings and machinery, and it appeared that the entire building site would slip down the hill.
