Synopsis
Excerpt from Retaining-Walls for Earth: Including the Theory of Earth-Pressure as Developed From the Ellipse of Stress; With an Appendix Presenting the Theory of Prof. Weyrauch
Tee first edition of this work was based upon the theory advanced by Prof. Weyrauch in 1878, but owing to the length of the demonstrations used by him, it was thought advisable to present different and shorter demonstrations in this edition. To show that the new demonstrations give identical results with those obtained by Prof. Weyrauch, his demonstrations have been given in an appendix as they appeared in the first edition.
The new demonstrations are based upon the theory first advanced by Prof. Rankine in 1858. Those readers who are familiar with Rankine's Ellipse of Stress can omit pages 27 to 35, inclusive, in following the demonstrations.
