To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Con- crete has already demonstrated its usefulness as a material for wall construc- tion, not only because of its low first cost, but also because no maintenance is necessary. A stone retaining wall must be pointed from time to time to keep the joints closed or the masonry will soon be disintegrated by frost. Concrete walls have practically no joints and hence no maintenance charges.

...S.
Retaining walls are built in the form of thin reinforced concrete walls or as gravity walls of plain concrete containing little or no steel reinforcement. Gravity walls are designed to withstand the earth pressure behind them by being made sufficiently heavy to prevent sliding or overturning. They do not utilize the weight of the earth behind them to add to their strength.
Reinforced concrete walls, however, depend to a considerable extent on the earth sustained to add to their stability. The earth behind the walls presses against it, but at the same time the wall is of such a shape that this earth pres- sure helps to some extent to prevent sliding or overturning.
