Riassunto

The book exhaustively deals with the fundamental principles of soil mechanics. New concepts such as the Critical-State Concept, Three-Dimensional Consolidition and Stress Path Method are discussed. It will serve the needs of students of civil engineering. Concepts are developed systematically. A large number of graded numerical examples and solutions are included.

The book broadly deals with:

• Basic terminology and interrelations.
• Index properties of soils.
• Soil classification systems.
• Soil water and effective stress.
• Permeability.
• Seepage analysis.
• Stress distribution in soil mass.
• Compaction.
• Consolidation.
• Shear strength of soils.
• Lateral earth pressure and earth retaining structures.
• Stability of slopes.
