Excerpt from Graphical Determination of Earth Slopes, Retaining Walls and Dams

The fourth chapter is devoted to the design of retaining walls. Here will be found the most common types of wall used in practice, together with the manner of determining the thickness of their bases both graphically and analytically.

The fifth chapter is devoted to dams. The space devoted to a subject so popular and extensively discussed in schools and text-books may seem disproportionately small; but in the class room, dams should be taken for what they are; viz. A particular case of retaining walls in which the mate rial to be sustained is deprived of friction.
