ISBN: 9780135763803.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRigorous and technically deep -- yet accessible -- this up-to-date introduction to geotechnical engineering explores both the principles of soil mechanics and their application to engineering practice -- emphasizing the role of geotechnical engineering in real design projects. An accompanying CD provides supplementary software developed specifically for learning purposes -- e.g., SETTRATE. Discusses site exploration and characterization; soil composition; soil classification; excavation, grading, and compacted fill; groundwater -- fundamentals and applications; stress; compressibility and settlement; rate of consolidation; strength; stability of earth slope; dams and levees; lateral earth pressures and retaining walls; structural foundations; difficult soils; soil improvement; and geotechnical earthquake engineering. Makes extensive use of photographs and example problems. For geotechnical engineers, soils engineers, ground engineers, structural engineers, and civil engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PEARSON EDUCATION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946025480245,"sku":"ByrdShop_0135763800","price":210.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780135763803_5ddd7cab-a119-494f-980b-ca187ef11808.jpg?v=1778777399","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/geotechnical-engineering-principles-and-practices-9780135763803","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
