Earth Pressure and Earth-Retaining Structures (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This classic work book has long been recognized as a comprehensive introduction to the mechanisms of earth pressure, and a thorough guide to the design requirements for retaining structures. It has now been entirely restructured and revised, providing significantly more support to help non-specialists understand the geotechnical issues and giving background to uncertainty of parameters and partial factor issues that underpin recent codes such as Eurocode 7. It comprehensively covers the principles of the geotechnical design of gravity walls, embedded walls, and composite structures.
