Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Earthwork and Retaining Walls' provides a comprehensive technical guide to the principles and practices of civil engineering as they relate to soil management and structural support. This authoritative work covers essential topics such as the calculation of earth pressure, the design and construction of various types of retaining walls, and the methodologies for efficient excavation and embankment. Co-authored by Horace R. Thayer, Samuel Baker, and A. Degroot, the text serves as a foundational resource for understanding the mechanics of soil and the structural requirements necessary to ensure stability in large-scale construction projects. Readers will find detailed explorations of gravity walls, reinforced concrete structures, and the physical properties of different earth materials. With a focus on practical application and mathematical precision, 'Earthwork and Retaining Walls' remains a significant contribution to the field of structural engineering. It offers timeless insights into the challenges of site preparation and the engineering solutions required to manage the forces of nature in the built environment.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
