Earth Anchors
by Braja M. Das
by Braja M. Das
| New Book |
About the Item:
Anchors are primarily used in construction of foundations of earth-
supported and earth-retaining structures. The anchors are used in
construction to transmit the outwardly-directed load to soil at a greater
depth and/or farther from the structure. Although earth anchors have been
used in practice for several hundred years, proper theoretical
developments for purposes of modern engineering design have taken place
only during the past thirty years or so. This book summarizes most of the
theoretical and experimental works directed toward the ultimate and
allowable holding capacity of earth anchors.
An unabridged J. Ross Publishing republication of the edition published by
Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., Amsterdam, 1990, 242pp.
About J. Ross Publishing Classics
J. Ross Publishing Classics are world-renowned texts and monographs
written by preeminent scholars. These books have been widely read,
discussed, and cited in the literature since their inaugural publications but
