Aysen, A.

Hardcover

ISBN 10: 9058095312 ISBN 13: 9789058095312

Publisher: CRC Press, 2003

Synopsis

Although primarily designed as a supplement to Soil Mechanics: Basic Concepts and Engineering Applications, this book can be used as anindependent problem solving text, since there is no specific reference to any equation or figure in the main book and contains problems and fully-worked solutions. Written for university students taking first-degree courses in civil engineering, environmental and agricultural engineering, its main aim is to simulate problem solving learning as well as facilitating self-teaching. The special structure of the book makes it possible to be used in two, three and four year undergraduate courses in soil mechanics. As it includes new and advanced topics tis work book will also be a valuable resource for the practising professional engineer. Although readers are assumed to have prior knowledge in soil mechanics; necessary basic information is included in each worked example.

About this title

Synopsis:

This text is primarily designed as a supplement to "Soil Mechanics: Basic Concepts and Engineering Applications", but it can also be used as an independent problem-solving text, since there is no specific reference to any equation or figure in the main book. This work is designed for university students taking first-degree courses in civil engineering, environmental and agricultural engineering. Its main aim is to simulate problem-solving learning as well as facilitating self-teaching. The structure of the text should make it possible to be used in two-, three- and four-year undergraduate courses in soil mechanics. However, as developing and advanced topics are included, the work should also be a useful resource for the practising professional engineer. It is written for readers that have prior knowledge in soil mechanics, however, necessary basic information is included in each worked example.

About the Author:

Dr. A. Aysen is a graduate of London University. His research interests include: the design of true two-dimensional plane strain and large shear box apparatus, numerical applications of limit analysis and soil stabilisation methods. In the past 15 years he has been involved in research and teaching of the geotechnical engineering subjects in the universities of Newcastle and the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) in Australia.
