Analytical and comprehensive, this state-of-the-art book, examines
the mechanics and engineering of unsaturated soils, as well as
explaining the laboratory and field testing and research that are
the logical basis of this modern approach to safe construction in
these hazardous geomaterials; putting them into a logical framework
for civil engineering and design. The book: illustrates the
importance of state-dependent soil-water characteristic curves
highlights modern soil testing of unsaturated soil behaviour,
including accurate measurement of total volume changes and the
measurement of anisotropic soil stiffness at very small strains
introduces an advanced state-dependent elasto-plastic constitutive
model for both saturated and unsaturated soil demonstrates the
power of numerical analysis which is at the heart of modern soil
mechanics studies and simulates the behaviour of loose fills from
unsaturated to saturated states; explains the difference between
strain-softening and static liquefaction, and describes real
applications in unsaturated soil slope engineering includes
purpose-designed field trials to capture the effects of two
independent stress variables, and reports comprehensive
measurements of soil suction, water contents, stress changes and
ground deformations in both bare and grassed slopes introduces a
new conjunctive surface and subsurface transient flow model for
realistically analysing rainfall infiltration in unsaturated soil
slopes, and illustrates the importance of the flow model in slope
engineering. Including constitutive and numerical modelling, this
volume will interest students and professionals studying or working
in the areas of geotechnical engineering and the built environment.
The fourth in the highly respected Short Course Series, A Short
Course in Soil-structure Engineering of Deep Foundations,
Excavations and Tunnels, focuses on the three major geotechnical
challenges of static soil-structure interaction problems. Deep
foundations - piles, barrettes, Multi-propped deep excavations and
Bored and open face tunnels beneath cities.This book gives both
students and practising civil engineers an authoritative review of
the state-of-the-art of designing deep foundations, excavations and
tunnels. In addition, the case studies and numerical modelling p
Although there are now a large number of computer programmes for
solving all sorts of foundation design problems, the need to check
these outputs by hand-calculation has become vitally important.
This book concentrates on getting the fundamentals right and then
using them in practical applications.The book is illustrated with
numerous worked examples and with quick-reference tables and
charts.

This work comprehensively combines soil and rock slope engineering
in the one volume. With the increasing number of computer programs
for solving slope stability problems, the need to check the outputs
by hand calculation has become vitally important. Like its
acclaimed companion volume A Short Course in Foundation Engineering
this title focuses on getting the fundamentals right, explaining
simple methods of stability analysis, and applying them to a wide
range of practical applications. The title is illustrated with
numerous worked examples and case studies, and with quick-reference
tables and charts.
