Craig's Soil Mechanics continues to evolve and remain the
definitive text for civil engineering students worldwide. It covers
fundamental soil mechanics and its application in applied
geotechnical engineering from A to Z and at the right depth for an
undergraduate civil engineer, with sufficient extension material
for supporting MSc level courses, and with practical examples and
digital tools to make it a useful reference work for practising
engineers. This new edition now includes: Restructured chapters on
foundations and earthworks, the latter including new material on
working platforms and collapse of underground cavities (sinkhole
formation). New mobilised-stress-based deformation methods that can
straightforwardly be used with both linear and non-linear soil
stiffness models and field measurements of shear wave velocity, for
serviceability limit state design. Extended sets of correlations
for making sensible first estimates of soil parameters, adding
deformation-based parameters for broader coverage than the Eighth
Edition. Extended section on robust statistical selection of
characteristic soil parameters. Greater use of consolidation theory
throughout in determining whether actions, processes and
laboratory/in-situ tests are drained or undrained. Extended chapter
on in-situ testing, adding the Flat Dilatometer Test (DMT), and
interpretation of consolidation parameters from CPTU and DMT
testing. An updated section on pile load testing. Additional worked
examples and end-of-chapter problems covering new material, with
fully worked solutions for lecturers. The electronic resources on
the book's companion website are developed further, with the
addition of two new spreadsheet numerical analysis tools and
improvement of existing tools from the Eighth Edition. Using these,
readers can take real soil test data, interpret its mechanical
properties and apply these to a range of common geotechnical design
problems at ultimate and serviceability limiting states.
