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.
