  • The
  • subject
  • of
  • earth
  • pressure
  • is
  • one
  • of
  • the
  • oldest
  • and
  • most
  • extensive
  • chapters
  • in
  • soil
  • mechanics
  • and
  • foundation
  • engineering
  • and
  • is
  • one
  • of
  • the
  • pillars
  • of
  • structural
  • engineering.
  • First
  • the
  • development
  • of
  • earth
  • pressure
  • theory
  • is
  • comprehensively
  • described.
  • The
  • descriptions
  • range
  • from
  • the
  • first
  • approaches
  • to
  • the
  • determination
  • of
  • earth
  • pressure
  • through
  • continuum
  • mechanical
  • earth
  • pressure
  • models
  • to
  • the
  • integration
  • of
  • earth
  • pressure
  • research
  • into
  • the
  • disciplinary
  • structure
  • of
  • geotechnics.The
  • main
  • part
  • of
  • the
  • book
  • comprises
  • a
  • selection
  • of
  • current
  • calculation
  • basics.
  • The
  • aim
  • is
  • to
  • provide
  • a
  • collection
  • of
  • working
  • instructions
  • for
  • foundation
  • and
  • structural
  • engineers
  • in
  • construction
  • companies,
  • consultants
  • and
  • in
  • building
  • supervision
  • as
  • well
  • as
  • students.
  • In
  • order
  • to
  • further
  • theoretical
  • understanding,
  • the
  • essential
  • basics
  • of
  • the
  • determination
  • of
  • earth
  • pressure
  • are
  • first
  • presented.
  • Then
  • the
  • most
  • important
  • processes
  • for
  • active
  • and
  • passive
  • earth
  • pressure
  • and
  • at-rest
  • earth
  • pressure
  • for
  • practical
  • application
  • are
  • dealt
  • with,
  • with
  • spatial
  • effects
  • also
  • being
  • taken
  • into
  • account.
  • The
  • book
  • sets
  • out
  • to
  • provide
  • brief
  • information
  • about
  • rarely
  • encountered
  • questions
  • with
  • references
  • to
  • further
  • literature.
  • In
  • recent
  • years,
  • the
  • dependency
  • of
  • earth
  • pressure
  • on
  • displacement
  • has
  • been
  • paid
  • ever
  • more
  • attention.
  • This
  • applies
  • not
  • just
  • to
  • the
  • passive
  • but
  • also
  • to
  • the
  • active
  • case.Questions
  • are
  • repeatedly
  • passed
  • to
  • the
  • DIN
  • committee
  • "calculation
  • processes".
  • A
  • selection
  • of
  • these
  • is
  • dealt
  • with
  • in
  • the
  • commentary
  • to
  • DIN
  • 4085,
  • which
  • came
  • out
  • in
  • September
  • 2018.The
  • history
  • of
  • earth
  • pressure
  • theory
  • is
  • supplemented
  • by
  • 40
  • selected
  • short
  • biographies
  • of
  • scientists
  • and
  • practical
  • engineers,
  • who
  • have
  • taken
  • up
  • the
  • subject
  • and
  • further
  • developed
  • it
  • over
  • the
  • years.
  • The
  • book
  • also
  • has
  • two
  • appendices
  • with
  • terms,
  • formula
  • symbols
  • and
  • indices
  • as
  • well
  • as
  • earth
  • pressure tables.
