PHYSICAL AND GEOTECHNICAL PROPERTIES OF SOILS

This book presents traditional soil mechanics theory with applications to various geotechnical situations and gives students the background on soil and soil origins necessary for predicting deformation, strength, and flo water in the the soil mass. Contents: Soil properties; Physical and Geological properties, formations of natural soil deposits deposits and ground water; Stresses, strains and rheological concepts; Shear strength of soils; Stress-strain characteristics and stresses at a point; Stability of slopes; etc.
