First the development of earth pressure theory is comprehensively described. The descriptions range from the first approaches to the determination of earth pressure through continuum mechanical earth pressure models to the integration of earth pressure research into the disciplinary structure of geotechnics.\u003cbr\u003e The main part of the book comprises a selection of current calculation basics. The aim is to provide a collection of working instructions for foundation and structural engineers in construction companies, consultants and in building supervision as well as students. In order to further theoretical understanding, the essential basics of the determination of earth pressure are first presented. Then the most important processes for active and passive earth pressure and at-rest earth pressure for practical application are dealt with, with spatial effects also being taken into account. The book sets out to provide brief information about rarely encountered questions with references to further literature. In recent years, the dependency of earth pressure on displacement has been paid ever more attention. This applies not just to the passive but also to the active case. \u003cbr\u003e Questions are repeatedly passed to the DIN committee \"calculation processes\". A selection of these is dealt with in the commentary to DIN 4085, which came out in September 2018.\u003cbr\u003e The history of earth pressure theory is supplemented by 40 selected short biographies of scientists and practical engineers, who have taken up the subject and further developed it over the years. The book also has two appendices with terms, formula symbols and indices as well as earth pressure tables.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 2 The history of earth pressure theory\u003cbr\u003e 3 Methods for the determination of earth pressure\u003cbr\u003e 4 Active earth pressure under plane strain conditions\u003cbr\u003e 5 At-rest earth pressure\u003cbr\u003e 6 Passive earth pressure under plane strain conditions\u003cbr\u003e 7 Spatial active earth pressure\u003cbr\u003e 8 Spatial passive earth pressure\u003cbr\u003e 9 Influence of groundwater on earth pressure\u003cbr\u003e 10 Compaction effects on earth pressure\u003cbr\u003e 11 L- and T-cantilever retaining walls\u003cbr\u003e 12 Silo pressure\u003cbr\u003e 13 Dynamic loading\u003cbr\u003e 14 Particular cases\u003cbr\u003e 15 Mobilisation of earth pressure\u003cbr\u003e 16 Application rules\u003cbr\u003e 17 Commentary on DIN 4085:2017-08\u003cbr\u003e 18 Forty selected brief biographies\u003cbr\u003e Appendix A -Terms, symbols, indices\u003cbr\u003e Appendix B -\u003cbr\u003e Earth pressure tables\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Civil engineering, surveying \u0026amp; building [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Civil engineering, surveying \u0026amp; building\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Civil%20engineering,%20surveying%20\u0026amp;%20building%20%5BTN%5D%22\"\u003eTN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Ernst \u0026 Sohn","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52449446494488,"sku":"9783433033074","price":123.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9783433033074.jpg?v=1785199627","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/earth-pressure-includes-ebook-pdf-hardback-9783433033074","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
