Retaining-Walls for Earth: The Theory as Developed by Prof. Jacob J. Weyrauch; Expanded and Supplemented by Practical Examples, With Notes on Later Investigations (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Understand how engineers predict earth pressure and design safer retaining walls.
This edition clarifies Weyrauch’s theory, expands with practical examples, and shows how to apply the math to real cases.
The book frames the theory of retaining walls with clear, step-by-step methods. It blends formulas, graphical constructions, and tested examples to help you assess stability and determine wall thickness.- How earth pressure is modeled and how factors like friction influence direction and safety.
- Practical methods for calculating pressures, using d, E, and cp to guide design decisions.
- Graphical and analytical approaches to proportion walls and check stability against overturning.
- Real-world examples, comparisons with other theories, and notes on the reliability of the methods.

Retaining-Walls for Earth: The Theory as Developed by Prof. Jacob J. Weyrauch
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a practical method to determine earth thrust and its direction for a wall not leaning backward. The method is based on the author's theory of earth pressure, which assumes the forces upon any imaginary plane-section through the mass of earth have the same direction. Notably, the theory does not make arbitrary assumptions as to the direction of the earth-pressure and is experimentally derived solely with reference to three necessary conditions of equilibrium. As such, this book is useful for engineers who require a reliable method to calculate earth pressure for retaining walls. Its simple yet scientifically sound approach provides accurate results and simplifies complex calculations, making it a valuable resource for professionals in the field. 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 # 9781333070519_0
