Description
This book is a comprehensive guide to soil mechanics, covering topics such as soil mechanics fundamentals, soil reinforcement, stability of slopes, and foundation bearing capacity. The book is divided into chapters, each of which covers a specific topic. Each chapter includes solved examples and exercises to help students and professionals learn the material. The book is also structured so that it can be used in courses covering soil mechanics for both beginners and more experienced professionals.
Clarity of topics and over 160 solved examples make this a complete text for students and professionals. The information and modern analysis gathered in each chapter offer more than any other single book written on the same area. Examples demonstrate applications, stimulate problem-solving learning, and facilitate self-teaching. The structure of the book makes it possible to be used in two-, three-, and four-year courses. New and advanced topics go beyond the standard course in soil mechanics. New material includes updated methods in soil reinforced by geosynthetics, different methods of reinforcement analysis in retaining walls, stability of slopes, and bearing capacity of foundations.
