| 520 | _a"Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Vol. LXX, Dec. 1910" is a scientific publication authored by A. Kempkey, Jr., focusing on the design and construction of a water tower in Victoria, British Columbia. Written in the early 20th century, this book delves into the technical aspects of civil engineering, particularly the challenges and methodologies involved in constructing a modern water supply system in an expanding urban environment. The paper details the various enhancements made to the Victorian water supply system due to increased demand from a rapidly growing population. It outlines the construction of a 109-foot high concrete water tower designed with aesthetic considerations to appeal to local residents, as traditional designs faced opposition. Alongside technical sketches and a comprehensive analysis of construction methods, the publication also includes discussions by other engineers that critique the structural recommendations made, emphasizing the importance of both functionality and aesthetics in civil engineering projects. The text serves as a valuable historical document that reflects the engineering practices of the time and the considerations surrounding urban infrastructure development.
