Failure Conditions in Infinite Slopes and the Resulting Soil Pressures (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Failure Conditions in Infinite Slopes and the Resulting Soil Pressures
Beginning with Rankine more than a century ago, scientists and engineers alike have sought to improve techniques for calculating soil pressures beneath the earth's surface. This capability has been important not only for predicting soil pressures against structures such as retaining walls and foundations, but also for predicting the depths and pressures at which soil masses will fail when disturbed by either man or nature.
This paper, based on Rankine's classic assumptions and the contributions of others, offers some additional refinements for calculating soil pressures. The equations have particular relevance to much of the steep, mountainous lands managed by the usda Forest Service, particularly the Idaho Batholith, where Intermountain Station engineers and scientists are studying slope stability and erosion problems.

Failure Conditions in Infinite Slopes and the Resulting Soil Pressures
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a substantial refinement of soil stress calculation, extending the theories put forth by Rankine over a century ago. Through a combination of classic assumptions and the author's work, the book presents new equations that consider factors including seepage forces and plane orientation. The equations presented have tangible applications for many industries and disciplines. They can be used to predict soil pressures against structures such as retaining walls and to predict the depth and pressure at which soil masses will fail. The book has particular relevance to mountainous lands and steep slopes. It contains tables of dimensional and nondimensional formulations, making it accessible to a wide range of professionals and academics. The author's work significantly extends the historical basis for calculating earth pressure and provides new tools for geotechnical engineers. 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 # 9781334208713_0
