Pressure, Resistance, and Stability of Earth American Society of Civil Engineers: Transactions, Paper No. 1174, Volume LXX, December 1910

"Pressure, Resistance, and Stability of Earth" by J. C. Meem is a comprehensive scientific study from the early 1900s primarily that explores earth pressures and the stability of structures like trenches and tunnels. It investigates how soil types and subsurface materials affect the resistance of these areas to water and general degradation. Drawing from experimental data, formulas, and conversations from civil engineers, the book improves comprehension about foundation work and subaqueous structures. It also includes details and outcomes regarding experiments done by the author and how the arch properties of land and grounds behave under different levels of ground stresses.
