Abstract
In the previous chapters some elastic solutions of soil mechanics problems have been given. It was argued that elastic solutions may provide a reasonable approximation of the vertical stresses in a soil body loaded at its surface by a vertical load. Also, an approximate procedure for the prediction of settlements has been presented. In the next chapters, the analysis of the horizontal stresses will be discussed. This is of particular interest for the forces on a retaining structure, such as a retaining wall or a sheet pile wall.
