Mechanics of Soil And Foundations

Ideal for undergraduates of geotechnical engineering for civil engineers, thisestablished textbooksets out the basic theories of soil mechanics in a clear and straightforward way; combining both classical and critical state theories andgiving studentsa good grounding in the subjectwhich will last right through into a career as a geotechnical engineer. The subject is broken down into discrete topics which are presented in a series of short, focused chapters with clear and accessible text that develops from the purely theoretical to discussingpractical applications. Soil behaviour is described by relatively simple equations with clear parameters while a number of worked examples and simple experimental demonstrations are included toillustrate the principles involved and aid reader understanding.Atkinson, John H. is the author of 'Mechanics of Soil And Foundations ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415362566 and ISBN 0415362563.
