Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Designing of Retaining Walls
IN attempting a revision of Jacob's retaining-walls. It was soon found that the entire treatise would have to be rewritten to bring it fully abreast with the times. The old theory that assumed the direction of the earth-thrust as normal to the inner face of the wall, or as having in all cases a direction parallel to the top surface has been utterly exploded by every experiment that has been performed; and it is hoped that the time has arrived for its permanent retirement.
