Print on Demand. In the broad subject of retaining walls, this book advances the understanding of their design to meet specific conditions. Beginning with a review of the theory of retaining walls and the history of its development, the author delves deeply into graphical and analytical methods to determine earth thrusts for different wall profiles. The text also examines the interaction of water and earth, with formulas and diagrams to aid the reader. The book includes the results of extensive experiments along with methods to use them in practice. The author provides insight into the factors that can lead to the failure of retaining walls and offers practical solutions to prevent such failures. This book is a must-have for the structural engineer as it fills a significant gap in the knowledge of the theory and application of retaining walls. 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.
