Take a Detailed Look at the Practice of Drystone Retaining Wall Construction Drystone retaining walls make very efficient use of local materials, and sit comfortably in their environment. They make an important contribution to heritage and to the character of the landscape, and are loved by many people who value the skill and ingenuity that has gone into their construction, as well as simply how they look. And yet, in engineering terms, they are complex. They can deform significantly as

Dry stone retaining structures are structures made of individual decimeter stone blocks in contact. One advantage of this construction technology lies in the weak amount of embodied energy required for their construction, and uses only local materials. This technology may be a positive answer to the challenges brought by sustainable policies in civil engineering. Many of these structures are older than one hundred years and sustain damage due to ageing; this places the owners in front of a challenging issue.

Drystone retaining walls are commonplace on the transport infrastructure in the UK in areas where building stone is readily available. Over the years many drystone retaining walls have been modified by various measures to increase their lives, and these modified structures are considered within this guide.

Dry stone walling is one of the oldest of countryside crafts, and these attractive structures form one of the most striking features of the rural landscape, whether on upland pastures, fell or moorland. The author looks into the history and development of dry stone walling before demonstrating how to build a wall with step-by-step explanations accompanied by photographs and diagrams.

Since the middle of the 20th Century yield design approacheshave been identified with the lower and upper bound theorem oflimit analysis theory – a theory associated with perfectplasticity. This theory is very restrictive regarding theapplicability of yield design approaches, which have been used forcenturies for the stability of civil engineering structures. This book presents a theory of yield design within the original“equilibrium/resistance” framework rather thanreferring to the theories of plasticity or limit analysis;expressing the compatibility between the equilibrium

Architectural heritage is now recognised to be of great importance to the historical identity of a region, town or nation. In order to take care of that heritage, we need to look beyond borders and share experiences and knowledge regarding heritage preservation. This book contains papers covering the latest advances in this field, presented at the twelfth and latest in a series of now-biennial conferences that began in 1989.The series is recognised as the most important conference on the topic.
