Retaining Walls — An Attempt to Reconcile Theory with Practice
Preliminary.—The stability of a retaining wall is expressed simply by the equality of two moments; the weight of the wall multiplied by its lever arm, and the thrust of a certain triangular prism of earth (or material behind the wall) multiplied by its lever arm; the point of rotation or fulcrum being the intersection of the line of pressure or “resultant thrust,” and the line of rupture of the wall. For exact equilibrium, these two moments are of course equal. In practice, however, a factor of safety should be used, for similar reasons as it is rised for iron in bridges and other structures. Many tables and formulas, however, are presented for use, where no factor of safety is introduced.
