Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the design and construction of retaining walls, structures essential for holding back earth and water. The author delves into the historical context of retaining walls, tracing their evolution from simple vertical forms to more complex designs incorporating buttresses, counterforts, and arches. The book goes beyond simple construction techniques to explore the theoretical principles governing stability, examining the forces at play and the potential modes of failure. The author meticulously analyzes the distribution of pressure on a wall's bed-joints, demonstrating how different types of joints, whether cemented or uncemented, impact the stability of the structure. The book also investigates the critical concept of earth pressure, exploring how the angle of repose of the earth and the weight of the wall combine to influence the overall stability of the retaining wall. By examining the forces at work and the interplay of factors like weight, friction, and pressure, this book provides a rigorous understanding of the principles that underpin the design of these essential structures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332223374_0
