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
critical-state and residual shear strength. The design and
execution of site investigations is evaluated with complete
discussion of the CPT and SPT. Additional topics include the
construction, settlement and bearing capacity of shallow
foundations, as well as the installation, ultimate resistance and
settlement of deep foundations. Both traditional knowledge and
methods and approaches based on recent progress are available.
Analysis and design of retaining structures and slopes, such as the
use of slope stability software stability calculations, is
included. The book is ideal for advanced undergraduate students,
graduate students and practicing engineers and researchers.
