Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Provides guidance for the safe design and economical construction of retaining walls and inland and coastal flood walls. This manual considers the retaining walls subjected to hydraulic loadings, such as flowing water, submergence, and wave action. It also discusses issues, such as design considerations, forces, and foundation analysis.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 154-158) and index.

Bibliography: (pages 159-160).
