9780282103231: Practical Designing of Retaining Walls

Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive treatise on the designing and construction of retaining walls, intended both as a textbook and a manual for engineers. Grounded in mechanical laws and rooted in Coulomb's theory, it presents a simplified method for analyzing and designing retaining walls, as well as detailed tables of experimental results for practical design. The author combines well-known principles with lesser-known experimental results to develop a theory of retaining walls that will produce structures that are both economical and safe for a range of conditions. The theories and methods presented in this book have been used successfully for over a century and continue to provide valuable insights into the design of retaining walls today.
