About this title

Synopsis:

For courses on Soils, Soil Mechanics, or Soils/Foundations in Departments of Civil Technology, Construction Technology, or Civil and Geotechnical Engineering.

Written in a clear, direct style, this practical text introduces students to the essentials of soil mechanics and foundations. Major emphasis is given to design and practical applications, which are supported by basic theory.

From the Back Cover:

This introductory text/reference is a practical guide for soil mechanics principles, with application to real-world foundation design situations. It is presented in a clear, direct style with just enough mathematics to support the design concepts. There are ample diagrams, charts, and illustrations throughout to support the concepts.

New to this edition:

• The material on drilled shafts (Chapter 21) has been revised significantly to reflect the latest design methods.
• Several new illustrations have been added to enhance student comprehension.
