An overview of the key foundations of soil mechanics

Geotechnical engineering is the subfield of civil engineering which specifically deals with the behavior of earth materials, such as soil and rocks. Soil mechanics is an essential component of geotechnical engineering, and one which incorporates geology, hydrogeology, and other connected subjects in an interdisciplinary engineering approach. Since geotechnical engineering remains a vital component of civil engineering, the need for good introductory materials on soil mechanics continues to be urgent.

Essentials of Soil Mechanics meets this need with a concise, readable introduction to soil behavior and the engineering properties of soil. Written by a practicing engineer with a passion for teaching, it emphasizes content that is used on a regular daily basis, and equips engineers to find additional information they may need. It is an essential reference and supplement for anyone needing additional guidance on this crucial subject.

Essentials of Soil Mechanics readers will also find:

  • A friendly, engaging, accessible tone throughout
  • Detailed discussion of topics including effective stress, seepage, consolidation, shear strength, and more
  • Recaps at the end of each chapter to emphasize key concepts

Essentials of Soil Mechanics is ideal for students studying soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, and related subjects.
