Learn the basics of soil mechanics and foundation engineering

This hands-on guide shows, step by step, how soil mechanics principles can be applied to solve geotechnical and foundation engineering problems. Presented in a straightforward, engaging style by an experienced PE, Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering: Fundamentals and Applications starts with the basics, assuming no prior knowledge, and gradually proceeds to more advanced topics. You will get rich illustrations, worked-out examples, and real-world case studies that help you absorb the critical points in a short time.

Coverage includes:

Phase relations
Soil classification
Compaction
Effective stresses
Permeability and seepage
Vertical stresses under loaded areas
Consolidation
Shear strength
Lateral earth pressures
Site investigation
Shallow and deep foundations
Earth retaining structures
Slope stability
Reliability-based design
