Overview
William Strickland reported on British engineering practice for the Pennsylvania Improvement Society in 1825. His plates on tunnelling construction practice feature the state of the art at that time and were the first accurate technical illustrations of tunnels. This lecture considers their importance in an American and UK context and forms one of a series of Tripartite civil engineering presentations by ICE, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and Canadian Society of Civil Engineers (CSCE) .
Host
