Description for The Mechanics of Soils and Foundations
Paperback. Suitable for undergraduates of geotechnical engineering for civil engineers, this textbook sets out the basic theories of soil mechanics; combining both classical and critical state theories. It describes soil behaviour by relatively simple equations with clear parameters. It also includes experimental demonstrations to illustrate the principles. Num Pages: 480 pages, 32 black & white tables. BIC Classification: TNCC. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 245 x 175 x 26. Weight in Grams: 882.
Ideal for undergraduates of geotechnical engineering for civil engineers, this established textbook sets out the basic theories of soil mechanics in a clear and straightforward way; combining both classical and critical state theories and giving students a good grounding in the subject which will last right through into a career as a geotechnical engineer. The subject is broken down into discrete topics which are presented in a series of short, focused chapters with clear and accessible text that develops from the purely theoretical to discussing practical applications.

Reviews for The Mechanics of Soils and Foundations
Possibly the best text book for supporting an introductory course on soil mechanics, and one which is uniquely leavened by reference to everyday observations. - David White, Geotechnique
