Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume presents the classification and development of earth walls based on recent investigations and developments. The authors examine the different ways of reinforcing a mass of earth to produce a structural material, and describe models for the various modes of mechanical behaviour. The principles and practical techniques of the design of such structures are presented, along with analyses of how the efficiency of traditional structures may be improved.
