Description
Summary:This report presents estimates of the amounts of lumber, laminated lumber, poles and piling, and plywood used in constructing civil conservation and development projects by the Corps of Engineers in the United States during 1962 and 1978. The use of these materials is shown by category of nonmilitary construction (Public Use, Navigation, Erosion Control, Multiple Purpose Dam, and Flood Control), and by type of use (structural, millwork, and facilitating). Factors of wood use are shown per $1,000 of construction value in both current and constant (1972) dollars. Constant dollars are used in order to provide a relatively uniform base for comparing 1962 and 1978 wood products use factors. Construction expenditures for conservation and development projects in the United States, as reported by the Bureau of the Census are separated into (1) Federal and (2) State and local projects. Federal construction expenditures amount to about 80 percent of the total and development projects (table 1). Expenditures for construction of Federal conservation and development projects between 1958 and 1978 increased at an average annual rate of 7.6 percent in current dollars and 2.6 percent in constant (1972) dollars.
