Summary
Summary
This text presents a complete course in soil mechanics for undergraduate civil engineering students. It explains the concepts of soil mechanics and emphasises the development of a sound understanding of basic principles and simple models. It includes examples and case studies to illustrate each concept, and covers the latest thinking in soil mechanics, especially critical-state soil mechanics.
