Description:
This book covers all significant topics in soil mechanics and slope stability analysis. Each section is followed by several review questions and project-based assignments to scaffold their learning, real field and laboratory data including boreholes and test results so that the reader can experience what geotechnical engineering practice is like.
Review Quotes:
This book is primarily aimed at soil mechanics students, but its project-based learning approach would be equally beneficial to any practising structural or civil engineer who is only occasionally confronted with soil mechanics problems. [...] The authors deliberately present only abstract versions of the corresponding theories or models. Each chapter contains problem solving with clear and detailed resolution, and concludes with a short, useful quiz. [...]
