The design of breast walls is important parameter for various earth-retaining purposes, and many problems are encountered in the field as a result of improper design and the proper explanation of parameters which influence the technoeconomic designs is required. The book provides insight into the design of retaining walls by explaining the basics of earth pressure theories, the parameters influencing earth pressures, gravity vis-à-vis breast walls and tables and charts for designing stone masonry and concrete breast walls across eight chapters. Details of the analysis are tabulated to aid professional engineers or designers in their practical work.
