Excerpt from Marine Structures, Their Deterioration and Preservation: Report of the Committee on Marine Piling Investigations of the Division of Engineering and Industrial Research of the Research Council This report presents the results of work done by the Committee on Marine Piling Investigations of the Division of Engineering and Industrial Research of the National Research Council. In its work the Committee was assisted by the Divisions of Biology and Agriculture and of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the Council, The Committee wishes to acknowledge also the generous contributions of funds and services by a large number of other agencies and individuals. Without these contributions it would have been impossible to have carried on the investigations which are reported in the following pages. While these investigations were planned by the Committee, the credit for their administration is due to Colonel William G. Atwood, Director of Investigations for the Committee. Full credit is also due to Colonel Atwood and to Mr. A. A. Johnson, Assistant to the Director, for the writing of this report, with the exception of those sections for which other authors are indicated. The Committee presents this report with the distinct realization that much remains to be done in future study on the several phases of the problem of the protection of structures in seawater. It is believed, however, that the work of the Committee has been brought to a stage where such a compilation as this of results already obtained is warranted and it is hoped that the data here brought together may be found to be of value to the engineering profession.
