Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the theories and experiments that have been developed to understand the lateral pressures exerted by soil on retaining walls. Retaining walls are a common sight in many construction projects and they play an essential role in preventing soil collapse. However, the behavior of soil and the forces they exert on retaining walls are complex and not fully understood. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the different theories and experiments that have been proposed to explain the behavior of soil in this context, offering a valuable resource for engineers and researchers working in this field. The author presents a detailed overview of the historical development of theories on earth pressures, from the early work of Coulomb and Rankine to modern approaches. The book also discusses the various experimental methods that have been used to measure earth pressures and compares the results of these experiments with the predictions of the different theories. Through this analysis, the author provides a deeper understanding of the complex interactions between soil and retaining walls, and the forces that must be considered in the design of these 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.…
