This book introduces methods to calculate the retaining walls and dams, i.e. the artificial structures used to restrain soil or water. The text presents both graphical and analytical methods, making it useful as a teaching tool and practical guide. The author covers a range of topics, from the internal forces of soil to the pressure exerted by soil on a retaining wall, delving into natural slope, cohesion, and the distribution of soil pressure. Engineers will find clear explanations of the different theoretical approaches, from Coulomb's theory to the analytical theory. The book demonstrates graphical methods of graphically determining earth pressure and its application to various engineering scenarios such as surcharged slopes. By balancing clarity with depth, this book acts as a valuable resource for students and engineers alike.
