Presence of water in soil gives rise to most of difficult foundation problems, and structures which have to withstand heavy lateral forces, such as retaining walls or dams, are most exercising in this respect; comparison of Rankine theory of earth pressure with wedge theory propounded by author; in latter, allowance is made for downward force of vertical component of inclined thrust on back of wall, which considerably assists stability. (See also - n 4484 Dec 19 1941 p 428-30)
