Excerpt from Practical Designing of Retaining Walls
IN attempting a revision of Jacob's retaining-walls. It was soon found that the entire treatise would have to be rewritten to bring it fully abreast with the times. The old theory that assumed the direction of the earth-thrust as normal to the inner face of the wall, or as having in all cases a direction parallel to the top surface has been utterly exploded by every experiment that has been performed; and it is hoped that the time has arrived for its permanent retirement.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of retaining walls, exploring their theoretical underpinnings and practical design considerations. From the initial principles of determining earth thrusts to the detailed analysis of stability and overturning, the author presents a thorough examination of the subject. Combining the latest theoretical insights with historical context, the book delves into the evolution of retaining wall design theory, tracing its origins to the pioneering work of Coulomb and Rankine. It critically evaluates various approaches, including the graphical method, analytical method, and experimental method, offering a balanced perspective on their strengths and limitations. The book is not just a theoretical treatise; it also serves as a practical guide for engineers and architects. It includes detailed design procedures, empirical methods, and practical tables, providing valuable insights for the design of stable and efficient retaining walls. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the interplay between earth pressure and structural stability, highlighting the need for a holistic approach to retaining wall design. Through numerous worked examples and case studies, the book illustrates the application of theoretical concepts in real-world scenarios, showcasing the critical role of retaining walls in infrastructure development and slope stabilization. This book serves as an indispensable reference for engineers, architects, and students involved in the design and construction of retaining walls. Its clear explanations, comprehensive analysis, and practical guidance make it an essential resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding and enhance their proficiency in this field of study. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
