Retaining structures and silos experimental and theoretical comparisons results for calculations Vol.2 (with CD-ROM)

New calculation theory. Coefficients of maximum active and minimum passive pressures. Resulting general equation for retaining structure calculation. Surface condition of the screen. Relations between characteristic pulverulent materials angles. Equilibrium criterion of a sand pile. Comments concerning the maximum active and minimum passive pressures, to relate to Rankine's theory. The "at rest" pressure. Cantilever retaining walls. New experiments and calculation. Bearing capacity of shallow foundations (footings and raft foundations) resulting of the minimum passive pressure of soil, for best settlement prevision.
