This book teaches the principles of soil mechanics to
undergraduates, along with other properties of engineering
materials, to which the students are exposed simultaneously. Using
the critical state method of soil mechanics to study the mechanical
behavior of soils requires the student to consider density
alongside effective stresses, permitting the unification of
deformation and strength characteristics. This unification aids the
understanding of soil mechanics. This book explores a
one-dimensional theme for the presentation of many of the key
concepts of soil mechanics - density, stress, stiffness, strength,
and fluid flow - and includes a chapter on the analysis of
one-dimensional consolidation, which fits nicely with the theme of
the book. It also presents some theoretical analyses of
soil-structure interaction, which can be analyzed using essentially
one-dimensional governing equations. Examples are given at the end
of most chapters, and suggestions for laboratory exercises or
demonstrations are given.
