What reading level is The Mechanics of Engineering volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


In the case of a retaining wall the earth-pressure is not in general normal to the surface, and the rule for magnitude of earth-pressure no longer holds for earth. A special investi- gation is therefore necessary in order to find Fand H in the case of a retaining wall. When once these are known in magnitude and point of application the general principles and equations already given in the preceding chapter, apply at once and we can investigate the stability or design a retaining wall.
It then o
...nly remains necessary to find Fand //and the point of application for earth- pressure.
Point of Application of Earth-pressure. In treating retaining walls it is allowable to neglect the cohesion of the earth. We can therefore consider the earth-pressure as zero at the earth-surface, and increasing for any point of the back of the wall directly as the depth of that point below the earth-surface. The point of application of the pressure is then just the same as for water, viz. , at a distance of */, = h from the bottom.
