The design of breast walls is important parameter for various earth-retaining purposes, and many problems are encountered in the field as a result of improper design and the proper explanation of parameters which influence the technoeconomic designs is required. The book provides insight into the design of retaining walls by explaining the basics of earth pressure theories, the parameters influencing earth pressures, gravity vis-à-vis breast walls and tables and charts for designing stone masonry and concrete breast walls across eight chapters. Details of the analysis are tabulated to aid professional engineers or designers in their practical work.

FEATURES

Basic principles, design methodology, the influence of various parameters on design and construction features Technoeconomical designs for various combinations of pertinent parameters How to design masonry and concrete walls Design principles and methodologies of designing breast walls with illustrative examples and construction features Design charts and tables for ease of access and a quick design process of breast walls

This volume is aimed at professionals in civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, retaining walls, soil mechanics and foundation engineering, as well as engineers working in the highway, water resources and construction sectors.
