Devised with a focus on problem solving, "Geotechnical Problem
Solving" bridges the gap between geotechnical and soil mechanics
material covered in university Civil Engineering courses and the
advanced topics required for practicing Civil, Structural and
Geotechnical engineers. By giving newly qualified engineers the
information needed to apply their extensive theoretical knowledge,
and informing more established practitioners of the latest
developments, this book enables readers to consider how to
confidently approach problems having thought through the various
options available. Where various competing solutions are proposed,
the author systematically leads through each option, weighing up
the benefits and drawbacks of each, to ensure the reader can
approach and solve real-world problems in a similar manner
The scope of material covered includes a range of geotechnical
topics, such as soil classification, soil stresses and strength and
soil self-weight settlement. Shallow and deep foundations are
analyzed, including special articles on laterally loaded piles,
retaining structures including MSE and Tieback walls, slope and
trench stability for natural, cut and fill slopes, geotechnical
uncertainty, and geotechnical LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor
Design).
