Excerpt from Retaining-Walls for Earth: The Theory as Developed by Prof. Jacob J. Weyrauch; Expanded and Supplemented by Practical Examples, With Notes on Later Investigations
The following theory of Prof. Weyrauch is presented for the use of the practical man, although, at the first glance, the array of mathematical formulae may cause him to smile at such a statement. However, a brief examination of the results and their practical applications should con vince him that a long-felt want has been supplied, not only in the graphical constructions that can be performed anywhere with the simplest instruments, but by formulae so simple that substitutions can be made and solutions obtained in a very short time.

Excerpt from Retaining-Walls for Earth: The Theory as Developed by Prof. Jacob J. Weyrauch; Expanded and Supplemented by Practical Examples, With Notes on Later Investigations
Retaining-walls were first treated in 1687, but until Coulomb's time no theories were advanced that are worthy of much notice, as they were for the most part founded upon mere assumptions, for which the reasons, if given at all, were statements unproved.
In 1773 Coulomb founded a new school that assumed the earth-pressure to act normally to the wall, and to be induced by a prism of maximum thrust.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a theory of retaining walls developed by Prof. Weyrauch in the late 19th century. The author presents Weyrauch's theory in a clear and accessible manner, making the subject understandable to engineers today. The book begins by examining the history of retaining wall theories, showing how Weyrauch's work built on and improved the ideas of previous engineers. The author then presents Weyrauch's theory in detail, providing equations and diagrams to illustrate the concepts involved. The book also includes several examples of how to apply Weyrauch's theory to the design of retaining walls. This book will be of interest to engineers and students of engineering who are interested in the design of retaining walls. Weyrauch's theory is a powerful tool that can be used to design safe and efficient retaining walls, and this book provides a valuable introduction to the theory.
