Description

This book covers the basic principles of soil mechanics, illustrating why the properties of soil are important, the techniques used to understand and characterize soil behavior and how that knowledge is then applied in construction. The authors define and discuss the principles and concepts concisely, providing clear, detailed explanations, fully illustrated with diagrams, charts, graphs, and tables. With many practical, worked examples and end-of-chapter problems and coverage of Eurocode 7, Introduction to Soil Mechanics is an ideal starting point for the study of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering.
