  • ""Comprehensive and introductory, this textbook covers all basic fundamental concepts of soil mechanics. It delineates how soil behaves, why it behaves that way, and the engineering significance of such behavior. The text clearly explains the various behaviors of soils based on mathematics, physics, and chemistry in simple but comprehensive ways. The authors include essential engineering equations to emphasize the importance of fundamentals, and 180 problems and solutions to aid with application. An instructor's guide, solutions manual, and PowerPoint presentation are available upon qualifying course adoption"--Résumé de l'éditeur."

  • "How Does Soil Behave and Why Does It Behave That Way?Soil Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition effectively explores the nature of soil, explains the principles of soil mechanics, and examines soil as an engineering material. This latest edition includes all the fundamental concepts of soil mechanics, as well as an introduction to foundation engineering, including coverage of site exploration, shallow and deep foundation design, and slope stability. It presents the material in a systematic, step-by-step manner, and contains numerous problems, examples, and solutions.New to th."@en
