Description
Summary:"Geotechnical engineering is the subfield of civil engineering which specifically deals with the behavior of earth materials, such as soil and rocks. Soil mechanics is an essential component of geotechnical engineering, and one which incorporates geology, hydrogeology, and other connected subjects in an interdisciplinary engineering approach. Since geotechnical engineering remains a vital component of civil engineering, the need for good introductory materials on soil mechanics continues to be urgent. Essentials of Soil Mechanics meets this need with a concise, readable introduction to soil behavior and the engineering properties of soil. Written by a practicing engineer with a passion for teaching, it emphasizes content that is used on a regular basis and equips engineers to find additional information they may need. "--
