In the last forty years, at least fifty books have been written on
the subject of soil mechanics, most of them textbooks. Only a few
touch on practical applications. Soil Engineering: Testing, Design,
and Remediation supplies the information needed to fill the gap
between textbook learning and practical know-how. When engineers
deal with major projects, such as the Teton Dam or the Leaning
Tower of Pisa, they need high-tech solutions. More often than not,
however, they deal with the foundations for warehouses, schools,
medium-rise buildings, and residential structures, projects that
need low-tech solutions. Ninety percent of the time consulting
engineers don't require mathematical treatment or computer
analysis, they require experience. Soil engineering problems cannot
be resolved with textbook information alone. This book provides the
practical meaning of the different aspects of soil mechanics, the
use of unconfined compression test data, the meaning of
consolidated tests, the practical value of lateral pressure, and
more. In addition to the technical aspects of foundation
investigation, in the real world the shadow of litigation looms
over every consultant's head. The author covers legal issues in
detail. After several years in foundation investigation most
consultants realize that soil engineering is a combination of art
and science. Soil Engineering: Testing, Design and Remediation
demystifies this connection and supplies real-world examples of
practical applications. This hands-on, ready reference will be
essential tool for any consultant working in the field.
