The Effects of the San Francisco Earthquake of April 18th, 1906, on Engineering Constructions
Immediately after the earthquake of April 18th, 1906, and the destruction of San Francisco by the resulting fire, it was obvious that the assistance of skilled engineers could be of great value in planning the reconstruction of the city on new and better lines, and that valuable professional lessons would be learned by careful study of the effects of the earthquake and fire on various engineering constructions. By virtue of its technical membership, the San Francisco Association of Members of the American Society of Civil Engineers seemed to be a fitting organization through which to proffer assistance to the municipal authorities, to study the effects of the earthquake and fire, and to collect technical information. Therefore, on April 28th, ten days after the earthquake, a meeting of the Association was held in Oakland to form an organization for these purposes.
