Pressure, Resistance, and Stability of Earth American Society of Civil Engineers: Transactions, Paper No. 1174, Volume LXX, December 1910
by J. C. Meem
"Pressure, Resistance, and Stability of Earth" by J. C. Meem is a scientific publication written during the early 20th century. This work presents a detailed study of earth pressures, bracing for trenches and tunnels, and the stability of these structures as affected by the unique properties of different types of soil and subsurface materials. The book synthesizes experimental data, practical formulas, and discussions from professionals in civil engineering to advance understanding in the field. The opening of the text introduces discussions on the previous paper by Meem that dealt with the bracing of trenches and tunnels. It proposes to investigate earth pressures in more detail, particularly focusing on the stability and resistance of earth applied to foundational work and buoyancy issues regarding subaqueous structures in soft grounds. The author elaborates on specific experiments conducted, emphasizing the outcomes and conclusions related to the arching properties of sand and the behavior of earth under pressure, setting the stage for further exploration of practical applications in civil engineering.
