Publisher's Synopsis
This Second Edition offers new material on environmental geotechnical engineering, an area that is now crucial. New computer models and mathematical modeling techniques that have evolved since that previous edition provide new insight on the the application of the laws of solid and fluid mechanics to soils and similar granular materials as a basis for design, construction, and maintenance of foundations and earth structures. Senior and graduate students of soil mechanics, as well as professionals, will benefit greatly from the lessons in this book.
