Book DescriptionThis revised edition is restructured with additional text and extensive illustrations, along with developments in geotechnical literature. Among the topics included are: soil aggregates, stresses in soil mass, pore water pressure due to undrained loading, permeability and seepage, consolidation, shear strength of soils, and evaluation of soil settlement. The text presents mathematical derivations as well as numerous worked-out examples. This book has it all on soil mechanics! It explains to you in the easiest way all about soil mechanics, and I'm telling you ALL about soil mechanics. It contains an excellent explication about permeability and seepage, consolidation, settlements and shear strength. It also contains excellents examples and exercises, that would guide you to understand everything about soil mechanics.Well the book is alright nothing to brag about. The only thing that I do not like about the book is there are no selected answers to selected problems. I tried to get a hold of the publisher to see if i can get some help, but no one would return my calls or e-mails. I would of bought something else.
