The Engineering of Foundations Slopes and Retaining Structures | Civil Engineering

Product Description

The Engineering of Foundations Slopes and Retaining Structures rigorously covers the construction analysis and design of shallow and deep foundations as well as retaining structures and slopes. It includes complete coverage of soil mechanics and site investigations. This new edition is a well-designed balance of theory and practice emphasizing conceptual understanding and design applications. It contains illustrations applications and hands-on examples that continue across chapters. Soil mechanics is examined with full explanation of drained versus undrained loading friction and dilatancy as sources of shear strength phase transformation development of peak effective stress ratios and criti…
