Le probl eme g eom etrique des d eblais et remblais, written by Paul Appell and published in 1927, explores the geometric problem of cut and fill in earthworks. This work delves into the mathematical principles underlying the calculation and management of earth removal (d eblais) and embankment construction (remblais), essential concepts in civil engineering and land development. The book provides a detailed analysis of geometric solutions applicable to real-world engineering challenges. It represents a significant contribution to the field, showcasing the intersection of mathematical theory and practical application in construction. This historical text offers valuable insights for mathematicians, engineers, and historians of science interested in the evolution of geometric methods in engineering practices.
