The Structural Engineer, Volume 33, Issue 2, 1955
FOR many years, jetties and other light piers were, by tradition, built in timber. This material, however, presents difficulties in maintenance, is subject to rot and prone to attack from the teredo which all contribute in shortening thc life of timber structures. Consequently it seemed reasonable to replace timber by ferro-concrete. L.P. Brice
