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.
