This book offers a thorough, yet student-friendly, introduction to the field of geotechnical engineering. In this thoroughly updated new edition the authors have strengthened the coverage of “principles” to facilitate a better understanding of fundamental geotechnical engineering concepts. Primarily designed for undergraduate civil engineering students, this integrated approach gives students a broader perspective of the subject matter and provides a solid foundation for future studies. The material is reinforced with many example and end-of-chapter problems.About the AuthorDONALD P.
