9781332025664: On the Introduction of Constructions to Retain the Sides of Deep Cuttings in Clays, or Other Uncertain Soils

Synopsis

This book tackles the difficulties and expenses of constructing deep cuttings through clay or uncertain soil. It presents an innovative design for retaining walls, comprising a system of buttress springing-walls, counter-arched retaining walls, and inverted arches. The author argues that these constructions can be built more cheaply and quickly than traditional sloped sides, while offering greater security and resilience. The book explores the technical details and advantages of the design, providing engineers with a valuable resource for tackling the challenges of deep cuttings.
