Synopsis
This well-established textbook presents, in as concise a form as possible, the applications of soil mechanics that are now being used in civil engineering and includes in the text, a liberal number of worked examples. This fifth edition has been thoroughly revised to cover the changes occuring in the subject since the publication of the previous edition in 1977, and the test has been extended to include a straightforward introduction to critical state theory, a topic which has become increasingly important in soil mechanics.This well-established textbook presents, in as concise a form as possible, the applications of soil mechanics that are now being used in civil engineering and includes in the text, a liberal number of worked examples.
