Description

Explore the technical practice of drystone retaining wall construction with this specialized text from the Applied Geotechnics series. Drystone walls are highly efficient because they utilize local materials and blend naturally into their surrounding environment. They play a significant role in preserving heritage and maintaining the character of many landscapes. While these structures are valued for their aesthetic appeal and the skill required to build them, they present unique challenges from an engineering perspective. This book examines the complexity of drystone walls, specifically how they behave under different loads. Because the stones can weather over time, these walls possess a unique ductility, allowing them to deform as loading conditions change. This resource provides a deep look into the design, construction, and assessment of these functional yet beautiful structures.

Key Features

Examines the engineering complexity of drystone retaining walls and how they manage changing loads.

Provides technical insight into the ductility of stone structures as they weather and deform.

Focuses on the efficient use of local materials in traditional and modern construction.

Explores the relationship between structural design and the preservation of landscape character.

Offers a detailed look at the assessment and construction practices within the Applied Geotechnics field.
