Soil Mechanics Fundamentals Metric

Autor M Budhu
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 iul 2015
An accessible, clear, concise, and contemporary course in geotechnical engineering, this key text:
  • strikes a balance between theory and practical applications for an introductory course in soil mechanics
  • keeps mechanics to a minimum for the students to appreciate the background, assumptions and limitations of the theories
  • discusses implications of the key ideas to provide students with an understanding of the context for their application
  • gives a modern explanation of soil behaviour is presented particularly in soil settlement and soil strength
  • offers substantial on-line resources to support teaching and learning

Descriere

Helps students to learn how to conduct a site investigation, acquire an understanding of the physical and mechanical properties of soils. This book discusses and demonstrates contemporary ideas and methods of interpreting the physical and mechanical properties of soils for both fundamental knowledge and for practical applications.
