Overview
An Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering introduces geotechnical engineering and its applications to civil engineering practice using easy-to-understand language. It focuses on both the fundamental and applied, covering the engineering classification, behavior and properties of soils necessary for the design and construction of foundations and earth structures. To place theory into context, the engineering significance of the property being discussed is presented, along with why the property is needed, how it is determined or measured, and how it is used in specific design situations. Simple geotechnical designs are illustrated where applicable. Fully worked example problems let you follow the solution steps and check your understanding. More advanced topics in shear strength of soils and rocks is included in the final chapter.
The 3rd Edition features 3 new chapters on the fundamental areas of foundation engineering: shallow foundations; lateral earth pressures and earth retaining structures; and deep foundations.
