Excerpt from On the Introduction of Constructions to Retain the Sides of Deep Cuttings in Clays, or Other Uncertain Soils
No. 689. "On the introduction of Constructions to retain the sides of deep Cuttings in Clays, or other uncertain soils." By Professor Hosking.
Deep cuttings are not only expensive, but their sloped sides are in most soils so uncertain, and subject to so many contingencies - involving unforeseen outlay, as well as danger to the works, and incidently to human life also; - that any mode of operation, which would have the effect of rendering them more secure, though the original expense were not reduced, would be deserving of consideration; but if it can be shown, that perfect security can be obtained at reduced cost, the consideration becomes even more interesting.
The expense of the first formation of a cutting under given circumstances is easily calculable, and so is the time within which the work may be effected. Experience has proved that there is, for every soil, a limit in depth, beyond which it becomes more expedient to drift the required way, and construct an arched tunnel of sufficient dimensions, than to make an open cutting with the requisite slopes. Even when the first cost would not decide the question, the preference is nevertheless, often given to the tunnel because of the greater security of constructed work, than of the sides of an open cutting. There is, indeed, in practice, a considerable range, within which it has always been uncertain whether - taking all things into consideration in each particular case - tunnelling or open cutting is the fitter expedient and it is in this intermediate range, that something seems to be desirable, which has not hitherto been practised.
A tunnel, it may be remarked, is expensive, not from the nature and extent of its constructions, but from the circumstances in which those constructions must be executed. The mere constructions are less than would be consumed by common retaining walls to the sides of a cutting, not deeper than the height of an ordinary railway tunnel.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tackles the difficulties and expenses of constructing deep cuttings through clay or uncertain soil. It presents an innovative design for retaining walls, comprising a system of buttress springing-walls, counter-arched retaining walls, and inverted arches. The author argues that these constructions can be built more cheaply and quickly than traditional sloped sides, while offering greater security and resilience. The book explores the technical details and advantages of the design, providing engineers with a valuable resource for tackling the challenges of deep cuttings. 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. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332025664_0
