Review

"...an interesting book which has fully accomplished its objectives. The text is well written and clearly illustrated. The exercises at the end of each chapter provide a good teaching tool. This book can be recommended as a textbook for advanced courses in geomechanics. As well, it will be very useful as a reference for practicing geotechnical engineers and as a guide for researchers in soil mechanics." Aleksandra M. Vinogradov, Applied Mechanics Review

"A good book for graduate students and faculty interested in learning about the applicability and limitations of critical state soil mechanics in research and in engineering practice." Choice

Book Description

Soils can rarely be described as ideally plastic or perfectly plastic, but simple plastic and elastic models form the basis for traditional geotechnical engineering calculations. This book describes the basic ingredients of a family of simple elastic–plastic models of soil behaviour and demonstrates how such models can be used in numerical analysis.
